John Tyler signs!


Kristalyn has been trying to teach Wes how to sign. Wes can do the sign for milk and John Tyler has learned the sign for "more" just from watching Kristalyn sign it to Wes. John Tyler thinks that he's saying "please" and uses this to ask for what he wants. For example: He'll be playing in the livingroom while I do the dishes and all the sudden I'll turn around and he's on his knees in the kitchen doing the sign for "more". He quietly sits there doing it until I notice and give him a cracker or milk. If he didn't want a cracker and really wanted milk than he'll refuse the cracker and grunt while doing the sign. That's my cue to try milk, or something else until I get what he was asking for. I think that it is brilliant! (Not to mention being much more pleasant than crying)
