I have done an informal count (and his new ST will start doing a formal count this week) and Axel is somewhere around 500 signs. That means whoever works with him should have a vocabulary double what his is in order to introduce him to new language. Also, they need to be able to produce phrases, because that's what Axel needs modeled now. He's already doing some like, "Nice to meet you", "See friends at school" (he did that on the video) or "Papa's at work", "Mama went to the store", etc. And, as you know, if we give him a broken language model he will only produce broken language.Leah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-79776116430158412782011-03-30T13:28:55.651-05:002011-03-30T13:28:55.651-05:00LOVE these milestones!

He's not mine and I have never met you or your family, but I follow your blog and I feel as if I know you all a little. Im proud of him and my emotion comes partly from that and because I know too well what feelings that come with the first day of school-for mom's. He has come so far since you brought him home. I hope that he enjoys his first day on his own.Twilson9608https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245911547204280399noreply@blogger.com
