So since Dallas isn't talking too terribly much I have decided I need to stop slacking on teaching him signs, especially of things he asks for constantly. So the last two days I have taught him "candy" and "movie". Of course he is making the signs his own... His candy is a pincer grasp twisting anywhere on his head (last night it was behind his ear). His movie is him interlocking hands and doing that "wave" like move from elbow to elbow. I think it maybe him combining "help" and "movie" together.
Anyway, it is pretty cute and a lot nicer than "uh uh uh" and pointing.

I love it when kids do that. I remember that Jadon came up with a few "Jadon" signs that were rather ingenious.
I agree with Mom - I love it when kids make signs their own. I also wished I'd kept better track of Nyah's unique signs because now that she's got the "real" signs down proficiently I can't remember them.
And hey - with his movie sign he's not only combining two signs into one, he's also mastering a signature dance move to employ later in life (hee hee.)
