P.S.


Ends up "pan de pan" is bread pudding. We are making it with pineapple. Mine was the top one. Karla was shocked at how much mine rose. I told her it rose higher because it was made with love ; )

I also wanted Dina to know that since there has been no school this week Karla has been working hard with Valery to use the signs. Yesterday evening Valery knew almost all of them! There are only about 5 that she doesn't do consistently. Now we are teaching the family and her sister so everyone can use the signs. When school resumes we will ask the teacher if she is willing to integrate signs for Valery. That would be so awesome.

Valery looooves to talk, but you can't understand anything she says so these signs are great for her. And they are also great to show her parents how quickly Valery can learn things. The only down note is that with so much use, the cards are not in the best shape anymore. Last night Valery curled up on the couch with her mom and me and went through them all. She'd look at the pictures, then make the sign and we'd clap for her. It's exciting to watch her learn so much so quickly! Right now they are having their third "class" for the day.
