Speaking and signing

My daughter is quite chatty, particularly when she’s got a phone in her hand (whether a toy one or a real one). I would love to know what she is chatting about but most of the conversation is in Jessica-speak which sadly I’m not fluent in. She can say a handful of recognisable words but most of her communication is through gestures and sign language. Her signing vocabulary gets bigger each day and definitely exceeds her oral vocabulary. It is lovely to see how quickly she picks up new words to sign – just need to encourage the spoken ones too!
