feel like telling that doc who said she would be a vegtable to go stick his face ina wall.
I think its pretty good for a 4yo given she can barely see, can't speak and can't move and is missing large chunks of brain.

That is very fantastic. you do know that the slippery slope of No No No No No starts here? although will be brilliant for her to be able to start arguing with you.

Dd: No

Riven: time to go to bed
DD: No

Riven: Cake or Icecream
