putting two signs together

Yep, you read that correctly!!! :)

Not only is Max learning sign language (about ten signs currently), but I have been working with him on putting two signs together, i.e. "car please" or "eat more." He couldn't grasp the concept at first, but he sure has now. Soooo exciting! And he actually did it today without any prompting.

This is a MAJOR developmental milestone, and his therapists and I are just thrilled! :)

Man and Amy,
You go have fun in AZ. Leave the worries at your doorstep. You need the fun, adventure, change of scenery. Enjoy your time and we cant wait to hear about all of Max's accomplishments and new friends he made on the trip.

HOOOOOORRRAAAY! You've been working on this one pretty hard and I'm so excited your work is paying off. I can't wait to see Max sign. I'm willing to bet that the "car,please" is a popular saying in your house. Just a guess...

Have a wonderful trip. We'll talk to you when you get back.
