After several months of signing to Poppy, she did her first sign back to us today! She signed MILK which is opening and closing your hand as if milking a cow. We asked her to repeat it a couple of times with success after she had finished her bottle so we knew it wasn’t a fluke. Well done, Poppy! Now we’ll continue to sign DOG which is slapping your hand on your thigh twice and see if she can sign that next.
Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that she is exactly the person she is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.
