Gabriel started signing please! Yay!! It all began at the mall with chocolate ice cream.
O.k. not really, but that's when he got the "hint" so to speak. I had been trying to get him to do it for a while. I would do it and before I would give him things that he was pointing and yelling for, I would take his little hand and make the sign for him. He'd get mad at me sometimes. Sometimes he'd just pull away. I always got "the look", though. My kid can give some looks, let me tell you. This one in particular said "stop annoying me with these manners and give me my food."
But that day at the mall... when he wanted a bit of his chocolate ice cream and I said "say please", manners came out of seemingly nowhere! LOL He was signing please every time he wanted another bite! It was great! When we got home and it was just regular old dinner... no manners. O.k. small victories, right? I kept at it just like before.
This morning, though, when he was ready for his toast, I said "say please". And he did! Just for toast! Sweet!!!
Maybe we're getting somewhere! O.k. off for the day now!
