Please?

Edith has mastered the language of sign. Okay, mastered might not be the right word, but she has learned to say "please" using sign language. We finally cracked through her stubborn little brain and helped her make the connection that "please" means you get things a lot quicker and usually with a smile and some praise from mom & dad.

She has also started letting on that she knows when it is bedtime. She cries and clings to you for all she's worth. She cries less than she clings, so we don't mind really. We get a few extra hugs at bedtime. Thankfully, she doesn't fight sleep too much and, usually, gives in and goes to sleep with little "fanfare."

We're excited to see how she does with her little brother. Many precious moments are to come, I'm sure.
