A has renewed his interest in sign language. His favorite new sign is "I love you" (see picture). He also likes to wander around asking "Why?" while he makes the American manual alphabet sign for Y. M and I showed him a video of when he was signing for "more cheese" when he was just under a year old -- it's so odd to watch a silent A sitting relatively calmly in a high chair.
M thinks the day is coming soon when we'll cut A's hair. I asked A if he wanted his hair cut, and he said he didn't; but that might change.
A's new fun poem (I'm not sure if it's his favorite poem yet) is A.A. Milne's "Disobedience" from the "When We Were Very Young" collection. He especially likes the last verse, which is supposed to be whispered until you get to the "You-must-never-go-down-to-the-end-of-the-town" part (which you can say loudly). I like it because it's English and droll.
As for favorite songs, A seems to go back and forth between "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!" (we did get him singing "Yo-ho To-ho!") and Sylvester's rendition of "Figaro" Oh, no; wait -- it's just occurred to me that his favorite song is "Jingle Bells", with which he uses to wake us up.
I'm going to have to teach him the ASL version of that.
