Yesterday, the speech therapist taught the boys how to sign ‘more’ and ‘please’ while she was here. Ryan picked them right up and has been using them ever since, but Dylan is a bit more resistant. And of course, he’s the one doing the most pointing, grunting and whining.
The past week or so, Ryan’s vocabulary has really increased- he still doesn’t string words together really, but he’s very happy to mimic us. Neither would repeat after us before, so this is a good thing! Sometimes he will do the sign for more while saying please.
I tried to get a video of them signing during lunch, but they wouldn’t perform on camera. However, this afternoon they wanted some marshmallows and were willing to use their signs and their words- though more so Ryan than Dylan.
If you’ll disregard the undressed kids and mess in the background (and the creeper big sister at the end on the right side, I’ll share a video with you!
Now I have to go look up some more signs to teach them! Won’t it be cool if they can pick up a couple before they see the speech therapist again?
