being stuck on track

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding speech repetition.

Angel has always had this strange thing she does when she is really excited

to see someone, or when she greets us in the morning. She repeats 'hi dad,

dad, dad, hi dad,....over and over and gets right into your face, eyeball to

eyeball. It is like she is stuck and can't get out of the repitition. I

used to think it was because it was all she could say, but now that she has

more language I question why she gets stuck. She seems to do this when very

excited to see preferred people. Those chosen few who she wants to suck

every moment of attention from.

Any ideas??

Thanks, Cheryl
