So glad Winter has such a comfortable and obviously cultured home now.
āPretty girlā was the first sign Emma learnt; Iām pretty sure she thought that was her name. I signed it at her every time she looked at me at first, lol. After a bit she would pay more attention after Iād do that sign, like she was expecting more.
She was ten when she learnt her first signs. She picked up on several pretty quickly after that. āFoodā was the cutest, because she started doing it at me after a while (probably because she knew a treat was coming immediately with that one, where with things like ādownā she didnāt get a treat if I had to physically put her down from where she didnāt belong. It was obvious she knew what it meant because sheād go out of her way to look away from me if she didnāt want to hear that one.
Sorry for the mini-screed, but Winter reminds me of my girl and Iāll bet sheād respond to āpretty girlā. :)
