My very first post was something about Molly getting to know our names. She had learned that certain sounds stand for certain things. But now, now she has learned something even more interesting - that she can ask for and get things if she knows the right words and gestures. Now this is power.
It all started with pointing, although we don't always know what she's pointing at. These days there is much frantic pointing on her part, and much guessing on ours.
Today she mastered the word for bubble and the sign for more. Clever girl, she spointed at the bubbles, said "bubble" and signed "more". And like the putty in her hands that we are, we blew more bubbles.
