The Pros and Cons of Language

What a week! Tessa's oldest daughter McKya was in the hospital, the poor little thing. I went to visit her and she was so sad and hilarious. The nurses had put an arm cover over her IV so she didn't pull it out and she didn't like it because it was decorated with sea animals wearing swimming goggles. She said that sea animals live in the ocean and don't need to wear goggles over their eyes. She's pretty sharp for 4. That's my kind of kid. :)

We have been teaching Harper some sign language so that she can use it at meals, mostly. She knows "more", "eat" and "all done". She uses it all the time. For example, tonight I was trying to rock her to sleep and she stood up on my lap and signed "all done" and smiled at me. It was so cute that I let her play for another 30 minutes. Here's hoping she sleeps in a little tomorrow...
