Mommy:  Ellie, which book do you want to read?
Ellie:  Airpa!  Airpa!  Airpa! (pointing in the air above her head and moving her finger in circles)
Mommy:  You want to read the airplane book?
Ellie:  Aye!
Mommy:  I don't know what book that is.
Ellie:  Airpa Bay-bay.
Mommy:  Airplane baby book?  I don't know what book that is.
Ellie:  Airpa Bay-bay!  Airpa Bay-bay!  (followed by all sorts of different signs)
Mommy:  You want to read the baby sign language book?  
Ellie:  Aye!  Dada (pointing to Daddy).
Daddy:  Ok...  let's read the sign book.  What is this?
Ellie:  Bay-bay (signing baby).
Daddy:  What is this?
Ellie:  Beh (signing bed).
Daddy:  And this?
Ellie:  Airpa!  (signing airplane)
Daddy:  Ellie, you are SO smart!
Ellie:  Aye.
And the family rode off into the sunset signing words to each other... cow, bird, grandma, cat, water, eat, banana... the list went on and on.*
The end.
Everyone:  Ahhh.  Sigh.
* HOLY COW!  When did that happen?  Dang!  I swear I watched her age right before my very eyes!
