My sister tells a story about something her daughter (now almost 3) did well before she learned to talk. She kept making this peculiar gesture at her parents, and they had no idea what she was doing, or why... UNTIL a friend recognized it as ASL for 'hungry.' Apparently the little dumpling had learned this at day-care and then failed to instruct her parents on its use.
Watching a beloved child go from 'adorable larva' to 'small person capable of interacting with the world around her' is so miraculous. And you're a marvelous reporter. Thanks for sharing your stories.
