"Row, row!!!"


Last night in the bathtub, Josie said her first understandable sentence. Okay, "said" isn't quite the right word, but it was definitely a sentence.

Josie's daycare teaches the infants and toddlers a number of words in baby sign language and her spoken vocabulary is also increasing every day. Last night I sang some of her favorite songs to her while she had her bath and she turned to me and signed "more, more, more" "please" and said "Row, row!!!" followed by some vigorous rowing motions. Thankfully, I was familiar with not only the signs, but the song and we spent the next 10 minutes with (the only verse of) "Row, row, row your boat."

I'll need to get a songbook from her daycare (and learn a few more signs) if I'm going to keep up. Tonight she asked for a different song (I think) and I couldn't figure it out ...
