A colleague of ours, Rob, from New Jersey, gave us the playset his 2 boys have outgrown. Jay put it together and Thane absolutely loves it. He climbs up the rock wall, plays at the steering wheel, crawls or holds the rails to walk the bridge and slides down the slide. There is even a little table with chairs for him and his friends. He still is not too sure about grass, but there is an area of it on the ground that has a floor, so he likes to crawl on that.

Here are some great pics of him enjoying the new playset. Thanks Rob!

On other news, Thane signed at school yesterday and they were so impressed. Apparently he was sitting at the table eating Cheerios, looked up and made the milk sign at his teacher. Michelle actually stood there for a second to grasp it all. I guess it is one thing to hear that he is doing it and another to actually see it!

He is also making a modified version of the change sign. We are not 100% certain because he is not truly consistent, but I think it is what he means. He also made the milk sign when I was eating some creamed corn last night at home. Apparently he associates it with anything food. Makes sense. I rewarded him with some creamed corn….about half the can! Yummy!
