Eddie is pretty excited about planes now. He is good at recognizing pictures of them, even little icons on a map, and makes the sign (for him, a flat hand moving horizontally through the air) and says "vvvvvv". When we go through airports and get on planes, he does it all the time. He has been good on all our flights so far.
While we were driving through Malta with our Maltese guides, he made the airplane sign. We looked around, and sure enough, there was a plane flying by, but it was in front and to the right where he couldn't have seen it! The people in front could see, and talked about it, so maybe Eddie heard them—but they were speaking Maltese! I guess he's already picking up a new language!
(Maltese is a bizarre mixture of Arabic, Italian, and English, which produces such place names as Ta'Xbiex and Marsaxlokk.)
