Signing...more to eat, please!

As I have mentioned before we are working with Emily on her sign language and over the past few days it seems to all be clicking in her brain. We started with "more" which was at first clapping, but still served its purpose. Well now she does "more" correctly, and has also started signing "eat" and also "please". I selfishly taught her "please" to try and minimize the amount of whining I was hearing and it seems to be working, yay!

She has also started putting her signs together, we are so proud! Not only is it extremely cute, it's also extremely helpful and must be gratifying for her as well because she is getting her needs met. We were sitting in bed this morning as we normally do before breakfast when all of a sudden she signed "eat" and then pointed at the door. Andy and I couldn't believe it, and were smiling from ear to ear with pride, such a smart girl!
