Toddler Sign Language - I Didn't Think He Was Paying Me Any Attention....

I have been teaching my 20 month old sign language for several months and he just stared at me.

Then the other day he walked to his highchair and began to sign for cup.

I was so excited because i didn't think he was paying attention or retaining it, but he is and everyday he picks up something new and loves it.

I don't know who gets more excited when he gets the sign right, me or him.




Note from Babies and Sign Team -

Amanda, that is fantastic!! And great inspiration for some of us who think that the baby sign 'isn't working'! All of our angels respond when they are ready! But after that - look out! The signs start to build up and communication really takes off at this point! CONGRATS!!!!
