i love sign language!

Signs that Maria knows:
eat, more, all done, juice, Cheerios, milk, Mama
(we're working on "cheese, thank you, and Dada")

It is a pure joy to watch your child learn the things you teach them (and humbling as you know the good and bad come together). I try to teach her the adult signs verses the kids signs as much as possible. However, sometimes she modifies them on her own and sometimes we create our own version all together! It's kind of hard to catch her doing them on video... but I tried to coax things along.


the hand pat (supposed to be on her chest) - "mama"



hand to mouth - "eat"
arm in air - "Cheerios!"


hand waving - "juice"
