An occasion!

Just wanted to share Jim's latest achievement! The long awaited for speech!

He has finally learned to clearly articulate "No!"

He has already followed up with the, "No, no, no, no, no!!"

That is about 50 percent of his current English vocabulary. (Knows at least 15 words in signed language.)

I read recently (see link below) that the brain processes sign language and speech in the same area of the brain. I thought it was interesting.

I love teaching my children sign language and I enjoy learning it myself. I definitely think it improves children's language development.

I am hoping Rachel's first word is not "no" :- )
