sean macro: i can has pull-up nao?

[phinnia]

Boy comes in to the room, stands with his back to me, leaning against my knees (I am sitting in a chair). Takes both of my hands, puts them down next to his legs (one on each side of his body). Lifts up one foot as if to step into an invisible pull-up.

This goes with the previous miming attempt of 'invisible toybox'. He's inventing his own full-body attempts at sign/communication. It's fascinating to watch.

You *do* realize that this is proof positive that he really *wants* to communicate, don't you?

Then again you may have figured that out already. I just think it's neat because it shows that he'll be a willing, likely eager participant in learning to use the board, sign language, etc.

That's exactly what excites me so much about this. And, he's ADORABLE.

Seconded seconded!

(And also on the thinking that all successful communication should end with kisses. Or at least most.)

Thirded!

Well, he was adorable when I met him several years back. But I also have a photo that clearly shows him trying to channel "Chuckie" of horror movie fame. :-)
