He might know more... but the occasion hasn't come up... he watches signing time more than I do, so today I was surprised when they said "Game" and he signed game. I didn't even know that was the sign for game. Anyways he is speeding along.

Signs he made up?:
(they all have accompanying noises except the egg whisk one)
"up"
"blow nose"
"I want to get down"
"fall down, drop"
"use the egg beater"
"washing machine"
"make coffee" (I have a loud espresso machine)
"stop!" (hand out)

He still hasn't started to really put two words together. But as the home study lady said, he is really easy to understand and really communicative. Really determined. ;D
That's all I can think of for now.

Books for Future Clutterchild

  • Andrea U'Ren: Pugdog

    Andrea U'Ren: Pugdog
    Pugdog just wants to be a dog, not a GIRL dog. Adorable illustrations, but a bit of overkill with the poodle ending. (****)

  • Rigoberto Gonzalez: Antonio's Card
    Antonio is nervous to show his mother's card with his two moms after the kids laugh at the butch one outside school one day. Nice to see a butch mom. Extra points for being bilingual English/Spanish. (****)
  • Peter Parnell: And Tango Makes Three

    Peter Parnell: And Tango Makes Three
    Another beautifully illustrated book about gay fathers, in this case, two male penguins in the zoo, who raise Tango, their baby from egg. My only problem, "it takes 2 to make a Tango". drat from the single mom point of view. (*****)

  • Latifa Alaoui: Marius
    Wonderful french canadian book about Marius, whose parents are divorced, and his mom has a boyfriend, and his father does too. Beautifully illustrated by Stephane Poulin (*****)
