A milestone has been made tonight!!! Kale signed "more" at least five times during dinner!!! I've been trying for about 4 months and it finally happened!!! Russ and I have had conversations with each other and the pediatrician about Kale's lack of speaking clear words yet. She reassured us that boys take a bit longer to develop these skills. It doesn't help that Payton was a full-sentence speaker since the moment she learned to talk and we've only had her progress to compare to (lesson learned - don't compare children)! So, we've been waiting and waiting for a clear, full word from Mr. Kale with no luck thus far. He knows exactly what we're saying and responds to each request (well, of course except "No, Kale! Don't touch that!" - he just smiles with his evil smirk each time we say that). He knows where to go when we say bath, night-night, upstairs, downstairs, etc. Just no clear verbal language yet - so when he responded with sign tonight I was ecstatic! It is a beginning, and whether it takes another week for him to do it again, I'll take it!
