Signing Times

Do I talk about my kids too much? I read other people's blogs and they actualy have other things to say. I guess I throw in the odd "thought" post now and then but it's usually about the kids. I'm ok with that. They are just so cute and interesting, there is usally nothing more interesting to write about. Yes, every once in a while they are smelly, cranky and even a little annoying, but mostly they are just fun. That being said, I have to brag on Micaiah. First, I'm amazed at how much he understands. I can say just about anything and he'll get it. I don't think Orin was at this point at the same age. In the last two weeks Micaiah has started to use sign language. I've never actually see a kid use sign language before they can talk. Yes, they can understand the signs their parents do, and maybe sign "more", but for the most part I think signing comes with the words. But Micaiah is going crazy with it. He signs "more", "please", "eat", "all gone", "thank-you" and a couple more. I need to look at the book again and teach him some more. It just melts your heard when he says "please." There is almost no way to say no (just ask Mimie who gave him anything he wanted when he did it.) Today it was time for lunch and the boys were getting fussy. Micaiah crawled up to me and started ponting to his mounth (the sign for "eat") over and over saying "e, e, e, e, e". So cute!!!!!!

Here is a video of some of my favorite signs.
