Pinky did the sign for Cow for the first time on Sunday! While we were shopping at Trader Joe’s I asked her to point out the cow (near the milk). She went to all four of them, pointed at each one, did the sign for cow and said moo, moo, moo – very loudly! It was sooo adorable. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of her clapping for her in the store!
I only wish that I hadn’t left my phone in the car that day! Mommy fail…but let’s not take away from this milestone!
Before Pinky started signing for cow, she was aimlessly pushing her little cart down the aisle, running into shelves and throwing everything she could grab into the basket. We were worried at first that she’d lose interest in the mini shopping cart like last time, but this time she was jamming! She loved it. I think as we continue to give her the opportunity to push the cart, the more she will enjoy it. Again, no camera…I was so proud of her that I stood back for a while and watched her go down the aisle by herself so happily. It’s one of those moments you’ll never forget as a parent.
Since I didn’t get a video of Pinky signing cow, yet…here is a video of how to sign ‘cow’ in American Sign Language. Enjoy!
