does when he was ehr age) |

bugs her when she goes |
|
15:47:08 |

Introduce the signs for 1) brother 2) dog 3) bath definitely
and build a list of favourite things, just as Shannon said
from there. |
|
15:47:48 |
WeeHands |
Add in signs for things that you do every day (often a few
times a day!), e.g., diaper change, eat, sleep, etc. |

15:47:56 |

at 15 months of age, I would ask my son if he wanted CRACKER
or BANANA (while Signing those) and he would Sign CHEESE! |
|
15:48:12 |
echo |
cute! |
|
15:48:17 |
echo |
Did you give him cheese? |
|
15:48:22 |
weecansign |
yep! |
|
15:48:30 |
LisaB |
howdy |
|
15:49:13 |
WeeHands |
my little one at 16 months would sign CHEESE and I'd give
her cheddar. she'd drop it and sign CHEESE again and point
to me - I had havarti on my sandwich! |
|
15:49:32 |
WeeHands |
cheeky little thing! |
|
15:49:33 |
LisaB |
My son loves string cheese... and the sign for cheese gets
used quite often at our house |
|
15:49:44 |
WeeHands |
mmmm, cheese! |
|
15:50:07 |
mummoth |
brb |
|
15:50:27 |
WeeHands |
my son's sign for CHEESE and COOKIE looked very similar at
that age - but I could tell what he wanted by the vowel
sounds he would make |
|
15:51:19 |
WeeHands |
Oh, on October 26th, Mothering Magazine is hosting a Sign
with Baby chat here at 9 pm eastern time. It hopefully will
be VERY business so mark it on your calendars! |
|
15:51:32 |
WeeHands |
Tell all the families you know about it too! |
|
15:51:39 |
LisaB |
my son approximates the cookie sign but it turns out it, in
ASL he is signing meat" but I know that is his sign for
cookie + he verbalizes "Keee" when he does it" |
|
15:52:21 |
WeeHands |
what would happen if you gave him meat" when he made this
sign...just curious?" |
|
15:53:11 |
LisaB |
he has been refusing to eat meat lately...he would take it
and throw it to the side of his high chair, say and sign
Noooooooooooo and then sign again and say Keee |
|
15:53:13 |
WeeHands |
for my kids cookie" was "totee" for their first 18-24 months
