Smart Kid
Josiah is no dummy. He has already learned a sign or two and is extremely proficient at getting just what he wants, especially from his mother. Joe readily signs 'up' when he wants to be picked up. He just lifts his arms and expects someone to slip their hands under his arms and lift him into the air. He also has waved a few times. (This one may be wishful thinking, but it seems like he really is saying good-bye.) When its time to sleep, Josiah can be heard to cry out as soon as he is put in a horizontal position, only to stop and even smile when put back upright. And, second child, as he is, he has perfected the "she stole it from me" cry and uses it freely even if he is the one who takes the toy from himself.
