I talked to Megan last week and she reminded me that the fill in the blacks are particularly with OPINIONS, FEELINGS, AND THOUGHTS -- not so much for wants and needs, because Liam can get those easier. What we want is to know what he thinks and feels. So, keep that in mind :) For example, if we know he cannot find this pillow-pet dolphin, and he is just saying dolphin. We would not say: "I want _______" or "help me find the ______" because those are wants and needs. We would say: "Oh! The dolphin is ________" or "we cannot find the dolphin, the dolphin is ______" he may say "missing", or "lost", or "hiding", or something else :) After finding the dolphin, we could say: "I love this dolphin because ______"
