One of the boys learnt how to say 'more'. Not just the word but the meaning as well. We've also been teaching the boys a bit of sign language because apparently kids can pick up on it quicker and it's good to know anyway.

In reality, signing 'more' allows him to ask for more food whilst his mouth is already full

is "more" open palm over mouth? I think daycare taught my kid something, but they neglected to tell us what they were teaching.

It's hand out from the chest, palm inward. Sort of like you're simulating a heart palpation

dang, thats not it. I'm sure he is trying to say something, but its not clear if even he knows what that is.

There’s also an Auslan app you can get with heaps of key word signs (β€˜Auslan tutor: key signs app’)
