Last Friday night, while Millie was taking a shower, she accidentally pooped in the shower. So I had to get her out quickly and she was a little upset over the whole matter. But I calmed her down and told her it was an accident. But the rest of the night, she had to tell everyone that she "pooped in the bath". And that, she did. She did the sign for "poop" and the sign for "bath" and as far as I'm concerned, is saying a sentence!
On Sunday, we went to church and she was ready to go to the nursery. We were getting out of the truck (Jacade dropped us off) and she quickly told her daddy, "Bye-bye." No crying from this baby. I went to pick her up and she wasn't really interested in going anywhere. She was perfectly content with staying and playing. Of course, she finally came to me. But Abbey, the director, was just stunned and confused. Thanks Millie for making it easy and fun to go to church. What a relief not to have to feel bad when you drop your baby off.
And this morning, Millie was drinking her milk and the teddy bear was sitting on the bed with us. And Millie decided to share her milk with the bear and pretended to let her bear have a sip. Then she stopped and did the sign for "share." Wow, she totally understands. I truly believe that the sign language has improved her language skills and made her a smarter baby. And it really wasn't difficult to teach her the signs. I just learned them for looking at books and then showed them to her (repeatedly). And now she uses them in conversation. It's a win-win for everyone!
