Dane speaks Whinese. We are not happy to hear moaning and groaning whenever Dane's sippy is empty or he needs help. We have been working with Dane since he was about 6 months old with sign language. We do not know sign language, but we have a cool book with tips and flashcards and a signing dictionary for the most common words that will help you communicate with your toddler. Dane Thomas first signed around 9 months, and his very first sign was - surprise, surprise - eat.
Dane isn't saying much yet. Still the babytalk: Mama, Dada, Boo (Blue), Duhguh (Dingo), and many many animal sounds (a post all in its own!). But Dane signs all the time, all day.
So here's a list of the signs that Dane Thomas has so far mastered: eat, more, all done, drink, please, car, no, stop. Again and help are the signs we're working on now.
This is such a great time to be working with him because he is so open to learning. So many opportunities come up daily to learn new signs, and Dane is quite receptive. He totally understands the concept and he is doing great. It's really helping us communicate with him and we are sooo proud of him!
