Sign Language


Early this week Mama noticed that I was using sign language. Mama had always wanted to learn and teach me signs so she was excited to see that I was doing the signs for "food", "more" and "finished."

When Mama asked my teacher if they had taught me sign language, the teacher told her that I had picked it up from another "student" at school who knows sign language. I picked it up while watching the teachers sign with Ava.

Now I sign when hungry (I signed that at the mall yesterday and to Dada last night) and when I want more of something (be it food, milk, or a certain game). I also sign that I am finished with my food (although I still sometimes drop the food on the floor too to really make my point).

I can't wait to learn even more sign language! (This graphic is the sign for "more.")
