AW: Signing

Kate signed "more" and "water" today!  I am so excited!  The only other signs that we are working on are "milk" and "all done."  If you sign with your child, what are the most useful signs?

    "open" was a big one for Jack (in addition to the others you listed)

    umm...let's see...

    -outside

    - help

    - please and thank you (only b/c I'm obsessed w/ him being polite). one thing about "please" though. He would sign, "More, please." when he was eating and he would often have messy hands. I still remember him rubbing spaghetti sauce all over his shirt b/c he wanted more meatballs. So, yeah, you might want to learn from my mistakes.

    Yay!  That's great!  I'm so envious - we had every intention of signing with C, but we haven't kept up with it :-(

    Yes

    We taught Griff "all gone", "thank you", and "banana" (that one was important because it's his favorite fruit) in addition to the ones you've already mentioned.

    :-)

    the only other one in addition to the ones you've mentioned about that dd knows is "eat" and that's been really usefull for her to tell us when she's hungry - which is all the time.

    on a funny side note, her daycare teachers tell us when she wakes up from her nap she immediately sits up, signs "all done" and then "eat".

    Exciting!  Go Kate!  We also did "thank you."  Can't remember any others that were that useful...

    That's awesome!!

     This is something I hadn't given much thought to recently, but seems like something I would be interested in trying.  Is there a certain book or website you found most helpful??

    Yay Kate!  I still haven't started.  I might have to wait until this summer.

    I just googled a few signs.  This website is what I ended up using, but it's just a dictionary.  There are a ton of books and stuff, but we found it easiest to focus on only 3 signs.  I wasn't even super consistent about it.

    Ya for Kate!!!  I want to teach him...but haven't gotten around to it yet.  Maybe once school is over and we can be consistent with it.
