Cote gr: I started signing since 6 months or so. I actually taught my maid so she will help me "remind" him. His 1st sign is All Done. Follow by Milk, More(want), thank you, eat, drink, please, play drum, hat, shoes, shower, umbrella, i love you, Open, Close, then the usual ones like bye, sorry, that (pointing), one ... I don't teach everything. I only teach him those I find he will use. I think it's not too late to teach. According to baby sign, the kids learn how to express themselves which aid them to talk. I haven't see this coming. but don't be like me k. He sign pratically everything that he dun see the need to talk. hahaha. you can try 1 or 2 words at a time. Keep doing the sign when you say the word. They will pick it up. Think Xav is also a signing baby.
pretent crying : Ju also like that. No tears one. My parents love to see the way he sign. They will bait him with biscuits make him do tons and tons of signs before giving him. Sometimes he do until pek chek then will pretend to cry lor.
Choc : My son's like Phael. As long as he has biscuits I can enjoy my dinner as long as i want. haha. But you think it's the correct way? That day I itchy backside feed him my teriyaki chix. Regret big time. He eat faster then me! Keep shouting for attention. I don't like to give him utensils cos he purposely drop on the floor then tell me "oh oh" ask me to pick up. My friend's gal will do scribbling. She prepares crayon and colouring books. i might try it.
