Student Teaching

Mia has been using her baby signs more consistently, perhaps because the speech therapist instructed us not to anticipate her needs so much. She said Mia should have to sign “eat” if she is hungry and “more” before getting seconds. Her newest signs are “yes” and “drink”. Last night during her bath time, Mia grabbed my hands and made me sign “more.” She loved it when I made the sign. Jeff informed me that this morning, she picked up her Chinese baby doll, patted her on the head, and then made the doll make the “more” sign. Is there a bigger meaning here? We don’t know. Maybe this is just Mia’s way of playing school.
