My Baby Can Sign!
I have been trying to teach my daughter some simple sign language to help her communicate with us. We have been working on "more" and "finished" when she is eating for probably about 2 to 3 months now. She finally got it! She is pretty good about signing more, although sometimes it looks like clapping. And just last night signed finished for the first time. This morning I was asking my husband if she was finished and cleaned up after breakfast and she signed "finished" just from hearing me say it.
It is awesome and, let me tell you, it is worth it. Meal time is so much more pleasant with less screaming and crying for more food and starting to be less throwing food on the floor when she is done. I highly recommend teaching sign language to all babies.
I just ordered a DVD and book to help us teach her more signs. I am hoping for: food, drink, hungry, sleepy, help, and cold. We will see how it goes. I will keep you posted.
It is amazing that even though she can't say too many words she can understand what we are saying to her. This is giving her a way to respond and communicate with us. I Love It!
