I have a little time to myself tonight (Klaus is working in his home office, typical evening) and just remembered that I opened this blog but never really posted anything. Okay, so let's start this blog! :)
After one week of spring break at Trinity, Dominic talks a few more words in English. Words, that don't come from me or Klaus - Dominic spent Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm at Miss Korene's.
It's an interesting choice of words:
Down
Sit
See
I see
Tomorrow morning, Dominic will be picked up by Miss Korene, as she drops off her older children in school and then takes him and Morgan, together with her own son A.J. back to her place. I know that Dominic is safe with her and even enjoys it. He has so much fun spending time with other children. Korene said, she can see that - Dominic and Timothy, son of Korene and 4 years old, enjoyed playing together during spring break! With all of her children around, Dominic ignored her pretty much. ;)
What other words does Dominic use these days?
Today, he joined in in the "Me, me, me!" - Song of Signing time: "Me, Me!"
Lo for love, joined another song on the same Signing time DVD
anzieh(e)n
auszieh(e)n

Mi - for milk or Milch
heiss
Dada for Daddy :)
Mamma for Mommy
bebi for baby
Hai for shark
Hallo for telephone
Oh-Oh! when something fell on the floor
Nu-nu for eating or being hungry
Ha-i for Hasi or bunny
Se-sei for Flugzeug or plane
Mee, ganz ganz zart fuer den Laut, den die Schafe machen, what the sheep say
Mmmm for Moo or Muh - what the cows say
brrr for cold
Dominic says more than that and there are tons of more words that he uses signs for.
He loves reading books, especially in the little tent-house that I put in his room a few days ago. It's so cozy in his house on a blanket together with a few stuffed toys! Dominic's favorite books these days: "Weil wir Dich lieb haben" - absolute favorite, "We're going on a bear hunt!" - wonderful gift from Erin a year ago, a book about a fire engine with frogs, a snake, cup cakes, dogs, a first aid box, bananas, sandwiches, .... - and last but not least a book about trucks. However, not only the trucks seem to be important in this book, also the biker and all the animals!
