He is usually really good at picking them up, it's just up to us to continue using them! He really enjoys being understood and is really proud of himself! We are using some videos called "Signing Times" from the Grant Wood Parent Education Library. It's really helpful and the big girls love it too! Dan and I want to take a sign language class together soon if possible. It could be like date night and learning something important all at once :)

At our last therapy session they suggested we work with some picture cards for Esias to point at so he can communicate with us even further, and see if knows some more abstract ideas. He's doing really well in therapy.
