Today was our last day of Baby Sign class. Which for Dex was basically a fun play date every few weeks. He certainly never signed in class. But he has, in the past few weeks, started signing more at home. He has a fairly reliable "drink" sign, which actually means "hey, give me that thing over there." Most of the time it means drink, but who knows - it could mean yogurt, or broccoli, or hi. Last week, in the middle of the night when he woke up for a fever, Dex asked for milk for the first time ever. And, pretty much the only time ever. In the past week his "all done" sign has become reliable. Usually. Sometimes he signs all done and then shoves another cracker in his mouth. And he kind of does a sign for "cracker." It's always entertaining when he wants something, and just goes through all three signs a few times to see if anything sticks.
Enough snow has melted around here and turned our back yard in to an ocean that we were actually able to go for a walk today. On a sidewalk. And I? Am out of shape. I am not sure how that's possible, with Jillian workouts and the like. But it's been a while since I've carried a 25 pound kid on my back, while walking up a steep hill. We need to get back out and walk some more. Winter, winter, go away.
John's got to go play with Jillian for a while, and then we may watch a movie. Or watch the Olympics. Or take a nap. Or, perhaps, all three.
