I have a confession. I've been using ASL signs with AJ. Shocked??? I know. I made such a big stink about baby signs back in April, and here I go adopting them. I'm sorry, but I realized, in a real light bulb over the head moment, that this means of communicating might help prevent (or stop) the Toddler Tantrums. Ding Ding Ding!! We have a winner. Judging by the (sweet, but) sometimes already whiney nature of my darling boy, we might need a weapon against the Tantrums. Also judging by my Mom's tales of my own Tantrums, which were the classic, face-down-on-the-floor, flailing-all-appendages variety.
I still maintain that babies create their OWN signs before learning anything WE teach them. Just for the record. Pass the salt, my crow's not all that tasty.
