I know what you talk about the hand waving with the “r” and “t”. That means you know the sign language to communicate with the multiple-handicapped kids? :-) Can you read my lips? So read my lips, I said, “bath-room” or “rest-room.” LOLs!

Children may be slow to learn potty-training, but quick to learn what gets attention.
