Miriam's dictionary rewritten

Since so many people enjoyed Miriam's sign language dictionary I thought I'd update it with a verbal dictionary. I like the way early words show something about babies. She still produces new signs occasionallly, which keeps me happy.

I guess I shouldn't leave Reuben out. He is also getting to grips with French beyond the initial dozen words like greetings. He seems to understand a fair amount but it's always hard to identify how much of that is context and tone of voice. Some of our favourites which he uses are:
laver les mains (wash hands - he almost always says this in French, and also uses it for 'sink' as in "I don't know where the laver les mains is")
Non - he very often says no in French. Not sure what this says about how he behaves at School!
Posing - he used the French verb 'reposer' with the English ending 'ing' to say resting
Papa/ Papas - he sometimes refers to Tim as his Papa and to parents in general as Papas
tres bien/ une cadeau - well done/a present (which is used with a clap of the hands basically to say well done). Reflects well on his teacher that these are words he uses quite a bit

He has decided he likes "little School" - ie a short day at School. We've therefore recategorised every School day as a short day (rather than just the ones which end early for strange reasons) and we're all winners, except Daddy who he points out has 'long works'.
