language, learning and life

It is now summer break and I am home for the summer. YAY!

I have high expectations for this summer....
I want to try potty training.. I wouldn't do this if I didn't think she wasn't ready.. but she has already started to show signs of interest in the potty.. She has a seat that rests inside of the adult seat.. We have such a small bathroom I couldn't imagine giving up part of the room for a chair just for her. Anyway, she will sit down on her seat while we say the abc's and count to ten.. and one time in 10 sits, she will go potty. AND.. she signs potty when someone flushes.

We are working on signs and learning language..
Today Super-Dad was putting on some hiking socks to hiking with his super-neice, and Isabella looks down and signs and says socks.. I had only worked with her a couple times on that one.. amazing how quick they pick it up now!

We saw fireworks for the first time this past weekend.. The annual summer festival has them every year. Isabella stayed awake for them, and really enjoyed them I think. She even clapped a couple times..

(just now she was standing at the kitchen gate, and looked at the windowsill, and said/signed apple. I said, nope..those are tomatoes on the windowsill, so she signed tomato.. amazing)

well, it's going to be a busy summer, I better get to it.
