Give me a Sign!

For the past few months Zach and I have been (when we remember- which hasnt been as often as I had hoped for) doing sign language with Sawyer- eat, drink, more, and milk.  Last night Zach noticed Sawyer doing the sign for milk, but I thought he was just waving.  Today I saw him do milk again, but we were saying bye to some playdate friends so again I thought he was trying to wave.  Then a few minutes later he did "milk" to me agian and I said milk?  And signed it back to him- he excitedly did "milk" again right away- and since it was naptime I took him and layed him down in our bedroom and asked "milk?" with the sign and he signed back "milk" right away and made excited sounds.  I let him nurse and he happily ate and fell right asleep.  After he woke up he signed "milk, milk milk!"  and I fed him some lunch (even though we have been working a whole different sign for eat)  and he seemed happy.  Perhaps he will start doing the rest of his signs soon as well.

  2. how fun! I am working on "more" for Bray so she doesn't just scream when she wants more of something. She finally is starting to ask without me initiating it. Isn't it neat to watch them learn? I love it!
