Since his last blog posting, Jack has started a new daycare. His teachers teach simple sign language, such as 'thank you', 'all done', etc. To reinforce this at home, we bought some flashcards and dvds. I had a few people tell me not to teach signs because it would be years before he talked.....like I have a problem with that! :o) Between oral and sign language, he gets his point across. He can verbalize: Mama, Da-dee, Ki-ee (Kitty), Boo-k (Book). In sign language, he can signal "all done" really well. "All done" is definitely preferrable to throwing food on the floor, although some of that still goes on, too.
