Shoes!!!

Many of you know we are teaching sign language to Moses so that we can better understand him in his pre-verbal stage. Thanks to our friends, the Aderholdts, we were introduced to a wonderful video series called Signing Time and we love watching an episode a day, if not more...Moses tends to beg for them. If you've been around us at all you know that all three of us enjoy showing off our new-found signing skills (although Jeremy does laugh at me a bit for knowing lots of random signs) to anyone who will give us audience. Well...this day, Moses just plain surprised me with a new sign he had been introduced to just the day before. He'd never practiced it. He just marched (toddled) up to me and, unprompted, knocked his fists together to show the sign for 'shoes'. Clearly, we have a genius on our hands. :)
