Every night for the last two weeks my DD (19mo) has been raging because I can't see an apparently invisible duck.
She stands next to the head board of the bed (shown here ) and makes all manner of quacking noises and signs duck. I should explain that she doesn't do much talking, only animal noises and signing so far .
If I say "is there a duck?"
She points to the main cross over point in the centre.
If I say "where is the duck?"
She covers her eyes - which usually means hiding, or peekaboo, or the object I am talking about is partially obscured.
If I say "is the duck hiding?" She signs hiding again and looks all expectant.
I have not yet found anything to say after this point that does not result in a screaming fit of rage. Including silence.
If I deviate from the above script in any way she has a screaming fit of rage.
I am starting to feel like I am trapped in a 80's text adventure, the only outcome of which is a screaming toddler...
Please help me find the duck!
