This week I thought I would get back to more of an Everyday sign.
I used this sign with my kids mostly at the dinner table during meals. I would give them a bite of their food, and then ask if they wanted "More" of that food (ex: More Carrots, More Cereal).
This is a sign that you will want watch for 'sign approximations'. These are your child's early attempts at making the sign, but they aren't quite the exact sign. With the sign for 'more', your child may clap their hands together, or make a sign that looks more like 'shoes'. So, just make sure as your child starts becoming more aware of the signs, and you know they are attempting them, that you are watching their movements more closely. What you thought was just clapping, may actually be signing! ;)
We just got back from a mini-vacation to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado to visit my husband's friends and family. This was the first time that they met our youngest child, AJ. Our elementary school children had Thursday and Friday off from school, so we took a long weekend and made the trip.
One of the neatest parts of the trip is driving from New Mexico to Colorado, and crossing Wolf Creek Pass. It's a HUGE mountain pass, and it was BEAUTIFUL this time of year. We saw so many different colors on the leaves, which is an amazing sight for us coming from Phoenix where we don't see too much change in the Fall.
Here is a picture (not ours) of the view from around the mid-point of the pass
