Growing Trudi

In the past month Trudi's communication skills have soared as well as her knowledge of things that I tell her to do. I definitely see her being more advanced than Heidi was at her age, simply because she has Heidi to help her along. Here are some things that Trudi can do/understand:

-She signs "more" in sign language when she wants something to be repeated or, obviously, if she wants more of something

-She can sign "thank you"

-She can sign "milk"

-When I tell her to clean up she immediately picks up the mess she's made

-When I tell her to go get her shoes she quickly brings them to me

-She understands when I say to she and Heidi, "Let's go outside." She always heads to the door

-When she is walking ahead of me outside she will turn around at my command. (That one wasn't easy to teach her)

-Her newest achievement is putting things in the trash at my command


It makes me proud to see that she's learning things because I sometimes feel that I'm "neglecting" those lesson from being overwhelmed at times with two small kids .
