chasing birds

We've shown Elijah the "bird" sign on a number of occasions, but he has never signed it back. A few days ago we met a friend down town Chicago and hung out by the bean for a while. While the boys were chatting, I tracked Elijah as he explored the area. At one point, he spotted a pigeon, looked at me, signed "bird", and took off after it! The bird was quicker than Elijah, and as the distance between them grew, he lost interested and let it go. So no harm was done. :)
