Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I can't seem to blog fast enough for the changes William demonstrates daily.  I was flabbergasted this afternoon when turning onto the driveway at Thompson's school to pick him up, William signed (two claps) and tried to say "school".  I mean...really?!  Bobby and I are continually fascinated to see how much he comprehends given his age. To highlight

• He most frequently signs ball, milk, bird, hot, dog, please, sleepy, bath, diaper, book
• One of his new signs is strawberry
• He says hot, dog, bird, poppy/papere, school, ba (what the sheep says), brother, thompson, book
• He loves homemade smoothies...so much so that he know where the blender is!
• He enjoys drinking through a straw
• He discovered hand gel and apparently knew to rub it between his hands
• He points at what he wants, saying "dis".  And when pointing with his index finger, he bounces it up and down, so we ca it the "flutter finger"
• If we don't understand what he wants, we can put him on the floor and say "show me" and he'll guide us to exactly what he wants
• He loves reading time!  He'll pick up a book, bring it to us and plop down in our lap
• He still loves the water, especially bath/shower time
