" I am now practicing all of my tricks each morning when I wake up. I recite all of my words/tricks and their associated symbols first thing when I wake up. I also learned that whenever someone says belly or I sit on mommy or daddy's belly they make it go up and down and make airy noises. So now, when I hear the word belly, I lift up my shirt and make my tummy go in and out while saying 'hu sss hu sss hu sss'.

" I also learned what 'say prayers' means, and I fold my arms whenever I'm told to 'say prayers.' I also learned how to use pen and paper and created my first drawing."
