Saturday afternoon (frigid weather!) we’re watching Signing Time. Rachel comes on to sing the introduction song. J-man touches the TV screen: “Ahh elll uhvvv yu uuu, Err Aa K-Kul!” (To the uninitiated, that’s “I love you, Rachel!”)
No prompting, no saying every syllable behind him, just straight out.
Also, when Rachel sings a song, J-man will now pull on my arm, and say “yu uuu!” until I sing AND SIGN along. My signing is getting better because I’m doing it more. I sign the word, he says the word, and everything is right with the world.
Now that we have new ones to watch, I’ll have more signs to learn… and the J-man has more words to learn. Both of us are growing.

I think this is the first time he’s said ‘I love you’ about a non-family member, and for that matter probably only the 4th or 5th person period. Congrats Rachel! He really liked your gifts!
WTG JMan ..you are such a cute elder brother
What wonderful moments are these! Yea!! Progress!
