You guys are just great!

CCN, I am laughing so hard at that. And chris, "just a short answer" -- that's what DH tells me!
Blackcat, thanks for the site -- I'll check it out. And see if the school can do that "receptive language testing". They did all kinds of things for DS, so I imagine so.
Mana, that conversation is eerily similar to ones in my house -- especially the twirling and escaping. It's DS who has gotten better over the years (though he still has a hard time with setting and stuff), so I'm hoping DD will grow out of it as well.
