After our weekly Sunday dinner at Grandma's house (of broccoli, tater tots, and meatloaf, PLUS some of mom's twice baked potato and filet mignon, PLUS chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin cheesecake dip) we got home late. I was hoping to get in a quick bath and put our sleepy heads to bed when Parker started signing. I had to do a double take. He pointed, said 'na-na,' signed eat, then signed please. Do you want a banana I asked incredulously? Again he pointed up at the bowl of fruit we keep on the counter, said 'na-na,' signed eat, and then signed please! I was SHOCKED! Not only was he somehow STILL hungry but he was totally communicating in SENTENCES!!! As I lie in bed last night I thought to myself had he not signed I probably would have mistaken his grunts and neediness for tiredness and put him to bed with an empty tummy...sad. YAY for sign language and being able to communicate at such an early age with our babes! I am sooo beyond amazed at how quickly they are picking it up!
