Magic of "more"

oh the wonders of this small 4-letter word. Quade first learned of its powers when he simply clapped his hands together and was presented with "more" of what he had just enjoyed.

Once he discovered the power extended to more adults when he used the simple verbal utterance of "ma", he became quite fond of this word.

Recently we have been both amused and frustrated at his requests for "more":

Easy to fulfill:
"more strawberries"
"more swing"

More difficult to fulfill:
"more firetruck" (i'm not planning on setting the house on fire to make this one happen)
"more airplane" (not going to campout at DFW for this one)

Impossible to fulfill (and hilarious):
after quade "passed gas" he said "more"---that one's all up to you big guy!

We are also working on the concept of "more". Katherine can do the sign but often does not. Instead she points to or reaches toward the object she wants and grunts. Not very polite.
