A, B, C easy as 1, 2, 3

Each child at Colter's school has a mailbox. The teachers will provide the parents with bills, of course, but every now and then we'll get a project that the kids have been working on. You know, the various pasting project, a painting or marker drawing, sign language chart. Yes, I typed that correctly, a SIGN LANGUAGE chart. Apparently Colter has been interested in signing his A,B,C's. Not only does Colter sing the whole song, he now wants to sign along with the singing. The best part is the end when he starts signing and signing at the same time, "now I know my a, b, c's (insert signed characters here) next time won't 'wue' sing with me."

Some of Colter's other accomplishments this month:

Counting to 100 without help
Counting to 10 with his fingers
Starting to add (1 duck plus 1 duck = 2 "gucks")
Learning to play Chutes & Ladders
Learning to play Memory game
Used the potty once at home
Putting together a 24 piece puzzle

What did he just say? This coming from the boy who we thought would never speak:

"I'm having a little trouble finding little quack" (having a "little trouble?")
"I'm just going to play cars for a little bit"
"I'm going to go get my water real quick"
