Signs starting with W (WASH and WASHER) for letter of the week: W

Here are some signs I thought I posted and didn't...

Little Fingers loves helping with the wash so I definitely am trying to add that to her repertoire of signs.

This WASH (above)- is like WASH dishes or to WASH something, not the wash that I need to get clean. (See how words have so many meanings - and the signs will change for those meanings!)

This is the sign I will start with Little Fingers this weekend along with CLOTHES I think ... I think that will make sense for her to add those together.

sign: WHERE and WIND - two new signs we're signing during our challenge

I started signing WHERE to Little Fingers.. she's not signing it back but she surely understands what I mean and will use the word herself.

I also started WINDY and she does sign WINDY (even with the littlest bit of WIND - so cute!). ... which is funny because my sister is Wendy and she couldn't separate the two at first, but now she can.

So two more words for our challenge!
WHAT new words have you taught or learned?

As you can see Signing Simon has gotten a major face lift from his original character.
Sign: WHAT - he's not mad, but he is showing his eye brows inward as that's part of the sign :) 

letter of the week: W and sign: WHICH

Letter of the week: W

This morning for the first time Little Fingers used to the word WHICH. I was so surprised!(Now, I have to sign it to her!) 

I'm a big language geek though - sometimes I really want to praise her for new word usage (like jump up and down - lol), but I just answered her question and moved on. I was so shocked! WHICH! Wow!That opens up a whole new can of (good) worms - here comes the WHICH questions! ;) 

For example: WHICH do you want, cookies or crackers? ... I was already doing this but now I can emphasis the WHICH sign! 

signs starting with V ... VANILLA and VALLEY

Sorry so belated. Who else is working on their taxes!? Oh my - exhausting!

Letter of the week 

(in case we forgot after this long week!) 

V

V signs .. hard to think of any ... the sign VERY is not used often in ASL so I didn't want to pick that. I opened the dictionary and this is what I found ... (I had nothing in my normal bag of goodies!)

VANILLA -- now I was taught to fingerspell it, but I guess it's regional ... or a sign was created. What are your thoughts? Do you sign VANILLA or fingerspell?

Sign: VALLEY (the sign literally represents the low of a VALLEY!)
