It’s hard to get a video of Allie doing any substantial talking, because as soon as the cameraphone comes out, she goes mute. I found a way over the weekend — catch her while she’s distracted by something else, i.e. reading a book with her dada. My mom, by the way, had major objections to sharing this, since Mr. W is just in a pair of shorts, but this is posted with Mr. W’s permission. “All you see is my hairy legs,” he said.
I didn’t catch Allie saying some of my favorite things, such as “Let’s see. Hmm. How about…this one? Hmm.” But I caught a lot more stuff than I had before.

Now you can see how well you understand AllieTalk. Mr. W translates behind her for every line, tho. BTW, we don’t regularly “read” any specific book with her, since her whims on what she wants out of her vast library changes minute-by-minute, so almost everything you hear from her, we’re guessing, is stuff Jayne worked with her on. Colors, etc.
