It's been some time since I've gotten on here, but Mimi is still working on her signs. It's such a great experience, especially since she is remembering a lot of them lately. Today, I was talking to Kai actually, asking him a few signs (food items) and was very impressed at how he knew ALL of the ones I asked him. I think he's going to be a great help with Mimi. Sad to say we are still working on the same DVD sets, mainly because I've been swamped with school and busy trying to keep the house in one piece. I've been working on learning the alphabet, which some letters to me is a challenge, but I'm getting through it. For some reason, my left hand doesn't do well with signing. My fingers don't want to act right. Weird!!!
Another challenge I'm trying to work on with Mimi is for her to "let go" of sucking her thumb. It's not like I can bribe Mimi. She is NOT phased by bribery. She wants it and right now, there's no way of taking it away. Any suggestions would be great appreciative.
Sorry I don't have more to report, but hopefully after this coming week of exams, I will.
Mimi growing up so fast (February 20, 2011)
Here she's signing "
SIGNING", "
POTTY" (something she refuses to do, but signs it all the time), and "
Thank You" of course.
Some people think it's kind of mean... But hot sauce worked with Kaylee for sucking her thumb.
ReplyDeleteJust curious why you need to sign with your left hand?
ReplyDeleteMy right pinky finger doesn't go all the way up with my fist closed, but fortunately I don't know too many signs that require that one, lol.
