The sign language thing? Seems to be working. At least, Mommy and Daddy are getting used to doing the appropriate signs at the appropriate times. (I suppose inappropriate signs are for another blog?)
So, I decided to see if The Prince really got it. Or if he could show me that he got it. When I suspected that it was time to nurse, I did the sign for milk. Guess what? Well, the title gives it away, but he gets it! He got all excited, smiling and shaking his arms. And so, we nursed. This is one of our main points of interaction now. I certainly try not to overuse it, so he doesn't start to think that it means something else, but if he's fussy and I'm not sure if he's hungry, I just ask him. If he's not hungry, he kind of looks away, or looks at me like "Um, no. Silly lady." (He's almost rolling his eyes.) !!!!
Daddy saw The Prince do the sign for dog when said pug ran into the room. The Prince looked at his hand and did the sign (which is sort of like snapping), and even said something that sounded like "Doggeeee!") He hasn't done it for Mommy yet, but I know he's that smart.
And, of course, The Prince is already saying "Mommy." No, really. Sometimes it does seem to be babble on his syllable of choice, but he often does it while looking at me, or when he's crying or hungry. And, then, of course, I ask him if he wants some milk.
