Charlene is in a happy mood today. Daddy talked to her using high pitch voice (like High 5). And she has a lot of response. Daddy is training Charlene to smile. And it does seems to be working. For 30 mins, Daddy will say 'Charlene, pretty smile' and Charlene smiles. Then he will praise her and say good girl, clever girl and Charlene continue to smile happily. Daddy was so excited to see Charlene smile that he forgot to take video (now he can't blame me for forgetting to videotape the last time).

Praise the Lord!  A few months back, we won't have seen Charlene smiling so readily and happily for an extended period of time. It's great that Charlene is learning and we will continue to condition her and pray for her social smile...

Here's the video of Charlene's smile.
