The way her 18 month son asks for Cracker is more like CRACK ! THe drug !! She blushes but he is so close to Cracker, he gets his point across!
We just visited a day care. His other grandma is getting tired.. grin.. He was off the charts with sign, he is a happy baby, gets his point across and all involved with this method approves as long as you talk the sign and sign back it is great communication..
Wow ! ^5
Henry does that too! My daughter was taught SEE signs (signing exact english) and then we expanded to ASL. Henry is hearing, and we all sign and speak at the same time to him. Which I also have always done with my daughter. Ummmm, I don't know the sign for crack! Too funny! Their little fingers are so cute when they sign!!!!!
