So I did look up the signs for train and boat. Seth disagrees with the sign for train, which I pointed out that it wasn't really up for debate. Like, we can't just change hundreds of years of vocabulary because we don't like the way a word sounds.
While I was looking up those signs I found a few others that were helpful including the one for poop. It did seem helpful. Like it would be amazing if he could tell me that he'd gone potty instead of waiting for the disgusting odor to waft up to four or so feet above his little bum.
I started doing the sign when I would change him or check his diaper. Every single time he responds with a giggle. Seriously. It's like he's been hard wired to think the word poop is funny. Is my boy really a second-grader?
I showed him other new signs. Didn't even crack a smile. And then again this morning, I made the sign for poop, and the guy giggles. I guess I'll get used to it. If I remember my own childhood well enough, I think I'll be laughed at a lot more in the coming years!
