When Papa Ross takes Austin places, it's a fantastic hands-on vocab lesson. Discovering all the tools in the garage, Austin touches each one as Papa Ross tells him what each is. Here, he's discovering "trailer" and "tire."I've been doing sign language with him and he's starting to recognize "gentle" and "hot." Pete works on him with "gentle" while he's petting the dogs and playing with things on the wall, and he and I sat with a warm cup
of tea and worked on "hot." I still need to find out the signs for "flower" and "flag," two of his favorite things. We have a fall chrysanthemum and he was a little leary of it at first. He'd touch it VERY fast and pull his hand back like it was hot for a couple of days. He's getting over that though. I imagine there will be plenty of dismembered flowers on the living room floor in short order. :)
