H recently started nodding his head for yes or shaking his head for no in response to questions I ask him. I can see in his face that he is so proud of himself for communicating in this fashion, and it is nice that he shakes his head instead of whining in frustration when he doesn't want something. I have been relying on his signing "please" if he does want something, and now I have to watch myself to make sure I still make him keep his good manners. It is so easy to just accept the nod and forget the "please."
It is a fun new stage, especially since he is not really into saying many words. Now I just need to see if I can get it on video some time. I am not sure how long it will last.
