lily is crazy amazing!
okay, i don’t want to boast too highly of my child’s skillz but this one is off the charts. so lily has been hanging out with our friend’s kids on occasion and they’ve taught their kids some sign language so that they can communicate more effectively before they learn to speak. it’s pretty cool. well, the other day our friend dena had been watching lily and when jana picked her up she asked jana if we’ve been teaching lily sign language also.
being the lazy parents that we are, we haven’t seen the need to teach our child any “signing” other than the little bits that she picks up from me in my moments of road rage. jana told her that we had not and dena said that she thought lily had been signing “more” to her. sure enough, when jana was feeding her later, lily would say more (as best as she can), and do the sign for “more”. they came to the office today and i made lily do it several times just to make sure. i would say more and she would immediatly do the sign.
is that crazy or what?! i went online just to make sure that this was legit and according to www.signingbaby.com, this is the real deal. so lily just picked all of this up by watching other babies do it. i’m thinking about having her teach me.
here’s a certified pro showing us that she also wants more.
