The best one we have working for us right now is the sign for drink. He know what it means when I sign it and gets excited and a few times he's even pointed to my mouth to indicate he wants a drink--so we're making progress I guess. I am also trying to teach him "up" and "down" and "all done" but without too much success and still plenty of whining. It will probably take some time to get him to start communicating better with us because he gets so focused on his motor skills--like walking--that he ignores everything else he already learned (like clapping) and just wants to get up and walk. (which he is doing allllll the time now. He walks everywhere and is pretty darn good too. He falls on his bum a lot but he can actually walk a long time and long distances before falling usually)
Anyway--baby signs are awesome and I want to do more!!
I read a blog called Petit Elephant and she is giving away 5 copies of a pop-up Baby Signs book--check it out here! I would love to win it!
That was good to hear about your progress with Luke. I have been debating on whether or not I should do it with David. Continue to update me on how it's going.
ReplyDeleteLuke is the smartest little boy. I know he will have no problem learning more than you want him to know. But with anything it just will take a little time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on Your Anniversary today. Hope Scott wines and dines you tonight, he better! You are the best.
Love all three of you so much. We are so excited we get to spend some time with you in November.
