Why Sign? どうして手話(サイン)なの?

Signing Saves the Day (Again!)

My 10 month old started making a fuss in the middle of dinner tonight. She turned her head away from the spoon, scowled at her water and began to whine.
Is something wrong? What is she trying to communicate?
Then, she signed "night night".

Within minutes of being put on the couch she fell asleep. I'm once again very thankful for being to sign with my baby! It really does cut down on crying and tantrums, as well as headaches.

Her signs so far that we have recognized are cracker, clean/wash (she seems to combine them), baby, night-night, bye-bye, pointing and more/clap (looks like more followed by applause).
