I can communicate!
Well, I could always communicate—by screaming, crying, laughing, etc. But now I’ve started to sign. It clicked in my brain sometime last week, when I started asking for “more.” I can also say “drink” when I want a drink of water/milk, and say “bath” when it’s my bath time! I’ve only used “more” when I wanted more food. But now I can say “more” when I want Mommy and Aunt Jaime to toss me back and forth more in the pool. Or when I want to hear the “Itsy bitsy spider” song again.
Mommy gives credit to Daddy for this, who worked consistently on teaching me some basic signs! Here’s the book he used.
