6th sign: "music"

Benjamin now has 6 ASL signs:

1. more
2. milk
3. eat
4. water
5. papa
6. music

Yesterday at lunch, he started rubbing his right arm with his left hand and looking the way he looks when he wants us to see that he wants something.

Music? Really?

He kept doing the sign over and over until Nathalie brought her computer into the kitchen to play him some Wagner while he ate. He looked very happy.

Still, I wanted to see if he'd do the sign again. This afternoon, during his after-nap bottle on his mother's lap, I started to play him some of Aesop's Fables (now available as a podcast). Nope. That's not what he wanted to hear. There was the sign again: music.

Every time he does a new sign we feel a surge of pride.
