how does your LO sign "more"?

I just started working with DD on some signs at meal time. I started with more by doing it before I'd give her another bite. She has started copying me when I do it, but instead of tapping her fingertips together, she claps.

I figure she'll learn the right way eventually. I also take her hands and show her how to do it correctly, but on her own she still claps. Did your LO do that at first and did they later start doing the sign correctly?

    My DD is clapping for more too. Although last night she had one hand doing it correctly and the other was flat like she was clapping. So I think it's just a matter of time before both hands are doing it correctly. She also hits her chest when she signs hungry instead of her tummy. lol

    I would do what you did, when she would clap for more I would show her my hands doing the sign then put her hands in the correct shape. Either way you know exactly what she wants and that's the most important thing.

    Lily claps for "more". She also just stretches her arms out to the side for "all done" instead of rotating her hands.

    DS was the same way. He caught on...just keep it up!  Smile

    This is a test. This is only a test.

    DD claps for more, she's been doing that for over a month. Once in a while her left hand will be in the right "sign" and her right hand will be flat.  I just keep doing it the right way and helping her.  I like that she understands when I ask her if she wants 'more' and if i put her in her high chair with some puffs and go to the kitchen to grab something, she'll clap if she wants more.

    he will clap and ma-or pound the tray and say ma ma ma-which at that point i say "more" and do the real sign but i think he is communicating his need pretty good :)

    He just whines or "NANANA"'s... And I feel like an idiot signing to him when he won't do it back.. lol.  But I hear one day they just do it.

    He FINALLY waved the other day, but he waves toward himself, not toward the person he's waving to... so maybe soon..

    My DD clapped at first to sign more and I was confused on if she actually meant more or she was just clapping. Now she puts her hands together softer and I can actually tell. I think that it just takes some time for them to get it right.
