"Please"

when my youngest sister, joanna, was little, my parents taught her sign language

nothing fancy, just a few words that you need at the table - please, thank you, all done, more

after awhile, joanna wouldn't talk...she would just do sign language

my parents worried for a little while that joanna would never speak...but fear not, she does :)

so i started doing this with sophia

she didn't really do any of them and jabbers more than anything

well one day, she did all done when she wanted to get out of the high chair

i realized then that she was picking up on the ones i was trying to teach her

she now does please, more, all done...we are still working hard on thank you!

but she has a special word for please...that sounds slightly like "vlikkum"

i have no clue what that is supposed to be or what part of that is actually in the word please...but she definitely does that when she wants something
