Zander made the Front Page!

Zander & I have been attending a sign language class in Temple, TX with my friend Leslie and her daughter, Maggie. We have learned a lot. I think I've learned more than Zander, but he is starting to catch on. This week he has done four signs during our regular routine. He signed "dog" a couple of times when we saw dogs around the neighborhood. He signed "all done" when he was finished with his lunch. While walking past the playground during our daily walk, he signed "play." The last one he did was "ball," also while on our walk. There were some kids playing basketball and he was really excited about it.

This week, the local newspaper came to class to publish a story on the class. The story was in the paper today with some really cute pictures. I just had to share it with you.

This is on the front page:
Here is the story. The picture was taken while we were playing with bubbles. Zander gets really excited when we pull out the bubbles.

The story was really long. Here is the continuation with a picture of Maggie.

I tried to find the article on the website, but was unsuccessful. I did find a picture of the front page. It is at http://www.temple-telegram.com/pageone.pdf. You can see the first picture at this webpage. We were really excited when we saw it.

That is AWESOME! I'm so glad the class is going well and that he's learning the signs, you will love being able to "talk" to him at such a young age. So cool you're both in the paper too!!

That is a really cool article, and what a great way to get some Mommy and Son time. It is so exciting to hear that he is learning the sign language, what a smart guy! Noel would love to come over and play again, so just let us know when!
