Having fun with signs

Liam signing "more"
"hurry hurry"
Harry is such a good boy
Two friends exploring the backyard
Before I had a child, I used to think parents who taught their hearing babies sign language were obnoxious and pathetic in their attempts to create "super-babies." Now I realize that such parents probably just preferred being signed to rather than yelled at by their frustrated babies. My ears were getting sore from Liam whining so I taught him some simple signs such as "more", "help", "eat," and "drink." Actually, he created a sign himself: "fan." (fläkt alltså inte djävulen även om det vore lite roligt). He loves signing and he gets so happy when I understand him. I've noticed that he is also trying to say the word as he is signing, but he's not quite there yet.
