The Notorious MRA has really taken to the sign language thing. He knows a gaggle of words/signs and continues to pick up new ones every week. Of course, he sometimes puts his own spin on the signs which we don't really worry about as long as we understand what he is trying to communicate. He speaks some words too but he has been able to communicate with us for a long time using sign language.
In recent weeks, his class has been learning the signs for different shapes including the sign for diamond. Apparently, there are two different signs for diamond - one for diamond, the shape, and one, for diamond the gem. As it turns out, MRA was only taught the sign for the latter.
The sign is something like pointing to your ring finger, which makes sense as that is where one would most often see a diamond and the toddlers are too young to distinguish between shapes and gems.
The other day while reviewing signs with him we asked MRA how to say diamond. He smiled and pointed to his wrist, to which his Daddy smiled, looked at me, and said, "That must be the sign for Rolex!"
