Before we had kids and even when I was pregnant (yeah, back when I was clueless), I always said that I would teach my kids to communicate with sign language. I took sign language in college and I even used to teach it to my students. I know there are awesome benefits of teaching it to little ones to help them communicate.
There were lots of things I said I'd do, but then the trio arrived and everything I said I'd do kind of flew out the window. Believe me, I tried to teach them sign language. But when you are trying to meet the needs of three little ones during the day all by yourself, sign language is not high on the priority list. My patience ran thin and I more or less just gave it up.
The kids did manage to pick up a few signs though. They can sign more, all done, milk, and up. They can also verbally say more, all done, and up, so the signs aren't that helpful! It's cute to see them signing though.
Chase signing "more".
"All done."
Reece signing "All done!" which always is followed by him ripping his own bib off.
When she's done she's rips her bib off and then throws her hands up to sign "All done!"

I love that you are doing 30 days of posts! They really are so cute. I taught Nolan those signs too and he still does them even though he can just tell me what he wants. It's still pretty cute.
We're probably here for another month, so let me know if you want to get together.
