"I make you happy?"

William: "I make you happy?" (When William does something good, we often say something like, "Thank you for following directions. That makes us really happy!")

Me: "Yes, you do."

W: "Elliot? I make you happy?"

Elliot: "You make me very happy."

W: "Mary? I make you happy?"

M: "Yes."

W: (Still in a sweet, pleasant voice.) "Ya'll make me mad. And I say AAAAARRRGGGGH. Then I'm mad at ya'll and you make me mad. But I make YOU happy. Um.... I make you happy? Mary? Elliot?"

Thanks for the honesty, kid.

You have both created a very safe environment for William to thrieve and feel free to express himself - good job!\\XXX,
