The last few weeks if anyone asks me how Henry is doing, I always tell this story.....
Henry's signs have really taken off and so has his intelligence. He looks out in the world for things to recognize. While driving, he spotted the same balloons twice while driving. So much is going on in that head that we just don't know.
Last week or so we went to Target. While we were walking in the aisle Henry said "Baa" and made a bird sign. We kept walking, but I looked back, and at the end of an aisle was a ceramic cookie jar that looked like a bird's head. It's so impressive! Not only does he understand that bird starts with B and that he can do the correct sign; he can also understand the many identities that bird means. These include a picture of a bird, an actual flying bird and even a ceramic cookie jar. That seems like a huge intellectual leap to me, and I couldn't be prouder.
With his growing smartness as well as the fact that his head is over the 97th percentile, the world of geniuses better move over.
