Her name is deisel. I know it's a funny name for a female but we named her before we found out her gender. She will be 2 years old in June. The only thing I have so far taught her to do is whistle. I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions, besides repeating the same word over and over again, that might help. Or is she still a little too young?

I have heard about putting on a cartoon channel. The bright colors from the cartoons are supposed to attract their attention. Thanks for the tip. I think I will be putting a tv in her room.
