It seems to me that it took Harry
an awful long time to be affirmative; that is, he said he didn't like
things fairly regularly, but took a long time to say what he liked. He said
"no" long before saying "yes." Jeremy has become quite
demonstrative about shaking his head side to side for "no," but,
the agreeable boy that he is, has just as quickly learned up and down means
"yes." He seems to do both with a big smile, taking apparent pride
in the fact that he is communicating, albeit not verbally. Of course, most
of these demonstrations of overt desire center around food, so perhaps it's
no surprise that chunky Jeremy is more positive than finicky Harry.
