Della and her experiment

Following on from our session in the lab at the university Della brought home her vest and mic. She looks like a foreign correspondent in a war zone with a bullet proof vest on I think.

She tried to eat it a few times and we did have to turn it off when we went to a Christmas party but all in all she did very well with it. It didn't stop her wanting a cuddle or playing with her toys.

When the chap came to pick it up he explained what they were actually going to be listening out for. It turned out it was how and when we said her name in a hope of understanding how babies build sentences around words they like - mainly their own name. They were also listening out for nicknames we give her. Della Doodle is a favourite of Simons. I'm genuinely looking forward to hearing the results.
