Gedalya's Fun New Tricks

Recently, Gedalya began doing such cute things, all either self-taught or big-brother-taught.
First off, when he hears the word music, he starts to sing his little lungs out! And when someone says the word "Laugh," that is what he does.

For a long time I've been teaching Gedalya that when he wants more food, he shouldn't scream, but rather say, "Noch" and make the sign: poking the palm with the pointer finger of the other hand.
One day I gave him a drawer full of diapers for his entertainment. When he finished playing, I showed him how to put them back and asked him to put in more, noch. And he signed noch to me! Then he understood what I wanted from him and put a diaper back in. I cheered and said, "Noch!" So the smart aleck took it out and put it back in!
Another time he was finished eating and wanted more. He remembered what I taught him and started saying, "Na? Na? Na? Na?" I didn't realize what he wanted right away, so he began to wave his pointer finger and open palm around and around until I got it and gave him more food.

He also added a new word to his vocabulary: "Bwu-Ga." Can't guess what it is? Take a look below.








Today we were walking outside when all the school buses were taking the children home, and every step of the way Gedalya was pointing and calling, "Bwu-Ga! Bwu-Ga!"
So far he can name:
Vava
Mama
Tatte
Te (Train)
Ka (Mashinka/Car or Kichala)
Bwu-Ga
Na (noch, while signing it.)
