Hey Nancy:
bring a bunch of her favorite books too. Elijah also
loves to do puzzles, but he's still on the simple wood
ones that you put the shape in the slot. (some are
cars, some are shapes, animals, etc.) Elijah isn't a
physical guy and doesn't really like playgrounds so
far..
more hijacking about the word No..Eli has his own sign
for it..he takes his hands and waves his fingers at
his chest. He recently added the word to the sign and
says "Noooooooo" while he signs. it's his only sign so
I find it interesting.
He also takes a while to warm up to groups and is
better at home. :) He pretty much still ignores other
children at playdates..but we keep trying.
Sorry for the hijack..have a great trip!!
Meg
