Lately I have noticed that Samantha repeats words or phrases at random times, over and over and over. This morning while in the car on the way to EI, she started saying "no chips, no chips, no chips, no chips..." Very clear and very deliberate in her words, yet seemed to be almost in another time mentally. I recalled that yesterday afternoon she had asked for some chips as a snack. We were getting ready to go out to eat so I had told her "No, no chips." At the time she screamed and stormed out of the kitchen. Now today she seemed to be reassuring herself that she did in fact understand what she had been told. Then as we rounded the corner to the center, her phrase changed to, "Bye bye, Aggie. Bye, Aggie. Bye bye, Aggie. Bye, Aggie." My friend's name is Aggie and Sam spends a lot of time at her house and with her in general. I had not mentioned Aggie this morning or even talked to her on the phone.
My concern is that my almost 3 year old didn't say anything about it being rainy today, or that she was happy/sad/tired. She never tells me she loves me (without prompt) or that she doesn't like green beans. She will wander the house repeating phone converstaions she's overheard, or something on TV she has heard. Yet here we are with her repeating over and over..."no chips."
