La La La - Laurie

We have been teaching Antonio sign language since he was very little and it has been such a great tool for us. And now that he talks, he wants a sign for every person in his life and if we don't give him one he makes one up. For example, for Grandma he signs apple.

He had been asking for a sign for Laurie so I started making an L with my fingers. This has been going on for a few weeks and each time Antonio tries he just points his one finger and doesn't use the thumb, until today.

The smile says it all - he was SO proud of himself when he figured out how to sign for Laurie all by himself!

We are all still battling the winter cold, but Antonio is still having some fun while we are recovering. And lucky for all of us Jeff is here now and we are all excited to be together for the "Winter Blast 2008" - maybe Jim Forman will come to our neighborhood and film the mess.
