Ana was sitting by herself for a while. I looked over... and she was practicing signing letters. "That's an O! That's I!"
Too cute.
(Which leads me to a question. As Ana clearly doesn't know, and isn't learning ASL, would it be completely wrong for me to substitute different handshapes for J and Z to avoid that whole "moving hand" thing? Because it drives... ah... her batty.)
And then later, as we read, she kept grabbing my hand, asking if I could point to various letters, and then "helping" me find the letter on the page. "Yes! That's a B! Now can you find A? Here it is!"
I love this kid. I need to be more sympathetic to her right now. She's not being bratty, she's still sick, as seen by her inability to keep awake today.
(She's being a *little* selfish in her insistence that Eva, having newly discovered the joy of toys, can't play with any ANA toys - but that's normal.)
Goals for this week: Finish top of quilt, buy border fabric, backing, and batting.
Be more patient with Ana.
Learn (or make up, because really, they're not learning any real sign language anyway) three signs a day, start using them with the baby.
