Since Ellie seems to be taking her dear sweet time to start talking so we have been working on sign language a lot lately.
Here are her favorites . . . all animal related, of course.
Today, was also a big day because Ellie got her first big boo-boo. She fell off the slide at the park and bit her tongue. It's a pretty good gash and we thought she might need stitches but a friend who is a pediatrician took a look and thought it would heal on it's own. Thank goodness.
The biggest problem was getting her to stick out her tongue so we could get a good look at it.
Luckily, we just have to ask her "What's the sign for doggie?"
And she sticks out her tongue and pants.

Good to do this with tomato sauce on her hands. Oh and rub it in the hair too! oh yuck kids are such a mess. Today Jules and I were just on the street outside our apt. and he pulls down his pants and starts itching his butt crack! I said you can't do that in public - he just replied " but mom I have an itch in my but" so innocent - whats a mom to do?
It was so liberating when Jules learned just a few signs before talking. It is really opening that communication like never before. I never did the animals. She has it down - super smarty - cutie !
