I have been recently introducing the sign for Mama. I show Josephine the sign, point to myself and say the word. I guess I started sometime last week.
Well, last night, I swear I heard her say Mama and do the sign. I make up nothing.
Josephine was laying on her changing table and we were “talking”. I did the sign and said the word. Josephine looked at me straight in the eye, put her hand to her chin and said, “BaBa”. Just like that. Two syllables, the sign. It was there! Of course, being the one-hit wonder, Josephine didn’t do it again, but my heart knew what I felt.
My little girl knows who I am!!!! An amazing moment for any parent!
