I only started signing last week. Nikki wants his nappy off but can't vocalise his need to go to the potty, so I looked up the sign for toilet and used it with him one afternoon. The next day I was shocked and amazed when he started signing 'toilet' just after filling his nappy!
I went straight out and ordered some British signing books that I'd been eyeing up for a while but was somewhat dubious as to whether the possible success was worth the price.
He now obviously recognises the signs for milk, food and more (which he gets especially excited about), although he still only really signs toilet - I think he just likes the hand motion as he does it all day
I'm now wishing I had introduced signing *much* earlier - to be honest I almost certainly would have had programs like signing time been available in British sign language. I will definitely do so from birth whenever I have another child
