you know you live in the city when...

we are trying to teach luke some sign language as we go about our day to help him be able to communicate more. most of the time the sign language is focused around eating (since luke does a lot of that), but today we were at the park taking our daily swing, and luke took some interest in a nearby pigeon (also known as a rat with wings - i have a strong dislike for pigeons). since we really hadn't seen a bird together recently, i decided to suck it up and make the sign for bird every time the pigeon walked by (eww, gross). only in the city would i need to do that to help expand his vocabulary! i'm still kinda grossed out by it.

luke says "hi" while spending time doing is favorite summer activity.
