Despite a few breaks due to my health, travels, and the usual life interruptions, we\u2019ve built a board with around 25 buttons that we use daily.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\">Ghosti picked it up quickly, and the results are both fascinating and hilarious. Some highlights from our button board: <\/p><ol class=\"ol1\"><li class=\"li1\">\u201cBye bye\u201d: his way of telling guests they should leave our apartment.<\/li><li class=\"li1\">\u201cFind it\u201d: a game where I throw treats and he searches for them.<\/li><li class=\"li1\">\u201cBetti\u201d: bedtime is non-negotiable in Ghosti\u2019s world.<\/li><li class=\"li1\">\u201cMom work all done\u201d: when he wants me to stop working and give him attention, he knows exactly how to make his point.<\/li><\/ol><p class=\"p1\">And then there are the moments that tug at your heart. When I introduced the \u201cMom\u201d button and left for an appointment, he pressed \u201cMom.\u201d (I have an app that notifies me when he presses a button) <\/p><p class=\"p1\">I nearly turned around and came back home immediately. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">Of course, sometimes communication at 4am is less heartwarming. Like when he insists on \u201coutside\u201d or calls for his dog friend with \u201cdog.\u201d <\/p><p class=\"p1\">But even those moments remind me of the richness of this shared language we\u2019re
