04/10/03: Sign Language

i also think that teaching him sign language prompted him to start learning to speak sooner than average. he started talking quite a bit sooner than his "peers", and picks up new words every day (which has forced me to be more careful using more colourful language).

one thing ive noticed is that he usually lets us know when hes ready to learn something. out of the blue one day, he developed a massive obsession with books. constantly wanting to be read to. hes learned about half the alphabet and can distinguish between capital / lowercase in many cases.

of course, im really looking forward to the day when he lets me know its time to potty-train. man i cant wait to stop buying diapers.
