Joey is almost 6 months old, and just starting to do things, so Julie and I are starting again with baby sign language. We used some signs with Sam; they were fantastic. Being able to commmunicate before he could talk was an amazing thing, and I really think it helped him and us. So we're starting to use some signs with Joey (particularly "food"). Sam is wonderful; he's been really interested in helping feed Joey and started doing the signs with us, all of his own accord. I can't wait to watch him grow as a big brother.
Sam, of course, asked about the signs. Julie and I explained that some people, like babies or people who can't hear, use their hands to talk instead of their mouths.
"We teach Joey how to talk with his hands," I told him, "because his mouth doesn't work."
Sam though about it for a minute, then asked: "Is it out of steam?"
