Friends

Nicholas had a wonerful day at school today! It's a good thing I bought one of those 5 packs of Hanes white undershirts for him. I have learned that he gets so dirty while playing on the playgroun that his white shirts come home brown. Therefore, no need for any cute or nice clothes for school unless it's picture day.

His teacher has been working on teaching the kids the sign for "friend" and I think he's finally got it! To sign friend you take each index finger and cradle one inside the other switching back and forth. He doesn't exactly do it but he moves his index fingers around each other and always smiles when he makes the sign.

He is also understanding more and more of what I am saying each day. He may not be able to repeat it but he definitely knows what I am saying. This morning as I was putting him in his carseat, I told him to take the paci out of his mouth. And he did it! Then I told him to give me a kiss. Then he puckered his lips and gave me a kiss. It's a huge improvement over the really cute but yucky great big open mouth kiss he has been laying on me.
