My nephew is taking his time learning to speak, so he doesn't say too
much yet, though he has his own versions of lots of words--like "help,"
and "apple," and "birthday," which don't sound anything like the actual
words and therefore can only be interpreted by his family. But for
months, he's been saying 2 things very clearly. He says "up" out loud,
and he knows how to say "more" in sign language.
Up and more. That's all. It doesn't seem like much, but my nephew has
taught me that these words have so many shades of meaning. You want to
be closer to something, or see something? Up. You want to keep eating,
or you want to see something funny again? More. You want to gain the
perspective of those around you? Up. You don't want to leave the
people you're with? More. You just want to be held? Up. You just
want to be loved?
