Millie learns a new sign, but I didn't teach it to her. Andrea, her babysitter, did. Andrea said that yesterday Millie did the "play" sign. Andrea has been showing them the sign during the day, and she said that Millie did it while they were all just sitting together. Way to go Andrea and Millie!
I've also been trying to teach Millie the "pain" sign. How exactly do you teach a child the sign for pain? That's what I was wondering too. But she would fall down and bump her leg or arm and I would do the sign for "pain" and point to whatever she hurt. The other morning, unfortunately, she had a little bit of a diaper rash (she just got over a severe diaper rash from an upset tummy) and did the sign for "pain" and pointed to her diaper. Yeah, she did it. She is one smart child. The "pain" sign is especially helpful if your child has a tummyache or an earache or some other kind of pain. A little less crying in the end (maybe) and you'll know what to do for them.
