Wow how the time has gone. We have a real little boy now, not a baby anymore. In the last couple of weeks Preston's communication and understanding of the world around him seems to have advanced rapidly. He loves pointing and things and he 'talks' all the time to us. We've been teaching him baby sign language for a couple of weeks as well, which is kind of like an interim communication method useful until he can talk. He knows what I mean when I sign (and say) milk, food, kitty and a few others, and he has just started to sign back 'milk' which is really cool because now he knows it is a way he can communicate with us and get across what he wants. So now we can expand the signs to include feelings, needs, objects etc.
He still has no teeth....and since we are going to Japan on Wednesday we've been half joking for the last few weeks that he will start teething seriously on Wednesday morning while we are at the airport...just to make our holiday ironic. Well what do you know, it's late Monday afternoon and we have about 3 teething signs already, so our flight is going to be FUN. Not.
Anyway, we're going to Tokyo!!! Yay!! We leave on Wed and will be back next Tuesday. We have a couple of days of shopping and eating yummy food (should we try pufferfish?? There is a 60% chance of death if you get poisoned by it!!) and then we go to the Tokyo Game Show with all the other gamer geeks of the world. I just looked at the map of the expo today and it looks ENORMOUS. It fills 8 expo pavillion halls and each one is divided into 3 normal sized expo halls, and they are expecting something like 160,000 people. And the entry fee is only $13.50! A bargain! I'm hoping to get lots of freebies :)
Hopefully we will have internet access in Japan so I can put up some pictures of our expeditions.
