{{{Aimee}}} I'm so sorry about your grandfather but I'm also really happy you made it there to be with him. Much peace~ma to you and your family.
Not Plei, but we are doing simple signs with Mal (mother, father, kitty, water, milk, etc). Maybe he'll start signing back in a bit. He's using Mal-words for those things now.
That's so cool. One of the things I've noticed about being home with Ellie is that I'm looking for stuff to *do* with her. I mean, I am capable of leaving her alone, and I do let her do her own thing, but I have more fun if I have some sort of goal in mind. I think flea is going to give me some books on baby signing - double yay there because it means I don't have to buy them. Also, I love the idea of Squeakaboo Test Pilot.
