Cedric Talks With His Hands

Our three-year-old grandson is learning to use motions and illustrations to convey what he wants to say.  This evening I asked him about the trip his family took to Texas over the Memorial Day weekend.

***************

Cedric:  It's far away.  If this is how far to our house [he carefully holds his hands vertically in front of himself, spaced about four inches apart], this is how far to Bomani's house [Bomani is a cousin living in Texas.  He flings his hands as far apart as he can get them.] . 

**************

Later, Cedric was telling me which day they got home.  First, he held his hands in a position like the one demonstrating the short distance to their house--in front, about four inches apart. 

Cedric:  If this is this day, then we came home here [he moves both hands far to the right, keeping the space the same]. 

I think his brain and his hands work together really well. 

He's a pleasant little chap, delivering his messages with smiles and twinkling eyes.
