Callum : splash, splash in the bath points to the shelf and makes a little grunt
Mummy : What do you want?
Callum : Bee Bee (Big Bird) and points to the bottle of Sesame Street bubble bath
Mummy : You want Big Bird?
Callum : Big nod of the head says "yeah"
Mummy : No no, no bubbles tonight
Callum : looks at me with big puppy dog eyes and signs a big "PLEASE"
Mummy : melts into a little puddle on the floor and hands over requested bottle of bubbles, how could I have said no.
We've been working on the sign for "please" for a while but this is the first time he's used it without prompting in the right kind of context.

Now that he knows that "please" works, expect to see it a lot more. Trust me on that one! ;-)
The first sign Evan used was the one for "bubbles". I believe the one for "video tape" was second! (It was the late 80's!No CD-ROM's then.) Bubbles are a wonderful reward.
Also, wonderful news about your rising star! The pic on the K.U. site is beautiful.
Well I can update that "Please" has now been used with cookies, The Lion King & crackers. Didn't take long for that to catch on :-)
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you! » » »
