Who's Your Daddy

Well, we thought we were making progress with sign language. We thought Little Guy had mastered the sign for Mom and Pop at least. Maybe not! Today I was doing a image search online and this guys picture is one of my choices. Little Guy was sitting on my lap and immediately pointed to the picture and signed Dad.
Littles Guy's thinks this is his Daddy
Hmm...maybe he thinks that sign is for any white guy with red facial hair.
On Skype, he makes the grandpa sign when he see's his grandpa. It was very interesting that on the last video call he touched Chris's nose and Princess's nose and pointed to his grandpa's nose and indicated that they all matched. He kind of curled up in after that. He doesn't seem to be interested in Chinese folk's faces. I think he would freak out if I showed him that his nose was the same as some of my students. I'm quite sure my students would freak if I tried this anyway.
Princess is on the other end of the spectrum with her identity.
All the boys in the class
All the girls in the class
She is blond in a sea of dark haired people. If she sees anyone remotely like our features she just is so fascinated. "Look, they have honey colored hair". She just looks at them with such awe.
Little Guy has been learning the sign alphabet with some luck. He can sign his name now. He wants us to sign any words he sees on tv (like the movie credits), so he does get that the letters correspond to the signs for letters. We have an old fashion label maker and he really likes feeling the letters and then signing them.
