I have been attempting to film some of Roman's many signs, which is proving to be difficult since anytime he sees the camera he just stares blankly at me. It is amazing how many signs he knows; after seeing a new sign just once or twice, he will often use it that day or the next on his own without prompting. And he will pick out the tiniest things from books or magazines, such as the tiny giraffe on the bookshelf in "Goodnight Moon," or a tiny helicopter in on of Gene's manuals. It's so helpful that he can let us know what he wants without throwing a fit. But, he also likes to use "finished" which sounds like, "di-di" for anything he doesn't want to do, like being in his car seat or being held or for example, in court today (for mommy's unfair speeding ticket which she beat) as I was talking to the judge, he said, "di-di, bye-bye" to the judge. Maybe his cuteness is what helped me. : )
You'll see chicken, chimpanzee, snake, more, please, help, water, duck, no-bite, blueberry and us looking at the tree. Daddy and Grandma took him around the tree a hundred times. He can find the duck, bird, gorilla, bell, Superman, Spiderman and can even distinguish between the red and yellow balls.
His favorite signs this week are giraffe, tree, crocodile, rooster and again, which he uses over and over to hear the same story 5-10 times in one sitting.
