A few months ago, Ellie was really great with her signing. Then, when we started really focussing on her motor development, the signing regressed to the point of not signing at all.
Today, at breakfast, she started again. "More". At first, DH and I were super excited! We clapped, and we cheered, and were so happy to see her actively communicating. Then, we realized that it actually sucks. I wish we didn't have a sign for "more". Because, when she was done her breakfast, and it was a bigger breakfast than normal (one squeeze pouch, plus a little bowl of apple and strawberry oatmeal), she kept signing "more" and "eat". She signed, and she signed, and she signed. More, more, more, more, eat. She slammed her hands down on her tray, and she shrieked at us.
Ugh. How can something that would normally make us so happy, make us so sad?
Sorry I've been such a downer :(
