So tonight during dinner, Riley Cate ate all the food on her tray, and perfectly signed to us that she wanted "more". She had used the sign before, but never exactly in the right context to communicate to us that she wanted more food. For those of you who had the pleasure of dining with Riley Cate during the growling phase, this is a dramatic step into civilization for her!
Also, we went today after lunch and visited with Mom's first grade class at DeQueen Elementary. Melanie taught Mom's class a song and then the kids all huddled around and got to meet Riley Cate. For those of you who are not familiar with the demographics of DeQueen, Mom's class is a little over 70% Hispanic. One of her Hispanic students asked, "Does Riley Cate speak English?"
The question was a bit tricky to answer. Techinically, she doesn't really speak much of anything... yet. But by default, her communication should be in English... more or less.

We've gotten the same question about Sawyer many times, and we don't ever really know how to answer, either. Jason frequently tells taxi drivers that he must be speaking Chinese since we know it's not English or Arabic!
