May learns....

"Water"

The sign for water is a "W" held to the cheek. (W being the first three fingers on our right hand, like, you know, a "W".) May can't quite manage that. Instead, she holds one finger to her cheek. But we know what she means.

Stairs

Our condo doesn't have any stairs and frankly, I'm glad of that. But it does mean that May hasn't really learned the fine art of navigating the inclined plane. Until this week. At the library, the children's room is divided into an upstairs and a down stairs. And May's been obsessed with the in-between. The stairs. This week, she mastered the art of the up in about fifteen minutes of concentrated effort. She's still working on down, though she can manage about half the time.

Blow me a kiss

Some random Chinese lady on the street blew her a kiss once. Now she does it all the time.
