This Kid Is No Dummy

I've been working on sign language with Kat.  I started with her pretty much at birth and then gave up around month eight.  Wouldn't you know it - she was paying attention all along :)  Shortly after Christmas, Kat started signing "eat", "more", and "all done".  She gets them a little confused sometimes, but she has the gist of it.

Lately, we've been working on "cookie" (a very important word in any vocabulary as far as I'm concerned).  I didn't bother looking up the actual sign for cookie so I just started signing "cracker" (I won't try to explain what the sign looks like).  Over the last week, before I give Kat an arrowroot, I sign "cookie" (while saying the word) and then grab the box off the shelf.  When I want Kat to sign back to me, I ask her, "Show me _________" and she will sign it.

Tonight?  I asked Kat, "Show me cookie!".  Being the uber intelligent kid that she is, she pointed at the shelf where the cookies sit.
