More questions: did Jane know I wrote about her last night?

I think Jane must have known what I said about her yesterday. How else do you explain that she suddenly loves using her hands today?

At breakfast, she signed everything. She and Martha were watching a sign language story (It's their favorite story, Merry Christmas, Splat.) Jane signed with great excitement, "AGAIN!" Then Martha laughed, "Mom, the story isn't done yet!"

Jane wanted more smoothie, which we just use the sign for fruit. She pointed at the smoothie and signed...bathroom. Not making it up. The hand motion is sort of the same.... But hey, at least she was trying!

So, our prophecy that meals would still be a little funny after Jane started to sign was literally fulfilled, the very next day!

Our friend Michai was here, and Jane likes her a lot. Today she decided Michai should read her a story. She handed her, "Mr. Brown can moo, can you?" Seriously? But Michai was a good sport, and Jane loved it. I surreptitiously whipped out the tablet to record that yes, Jane can use her hands :) You can see her watching the book and Michai's hands. It's pretty cute, if you ask me (and I'm certainly not biased...)
