M: Wa hahs? Wa hahs?
(hey, she could certainly ask for worse things, right?)

A: You want to wash your hands, Maya?

M: Yeah. (Then, as if it were my suggestion in the first place, rather than guessing what she was saying) Okay.

As I listen to myself talk, I realize that this is a common thread. I’ll ask her if something is what she wants. She says “yeah.” I reply “okay.”

My suggestion is when you are asking verification on what she wants, ask it in a way that goes back on her, such as “Are you asking if you can wash your hands?” Then it’s back on her as it was her idea in the first place.
