This story teaches you 10 important signs that everyone should know. Check it out! **Nita's First Signs** Nita is in her highchair, eating crackers. Nita likes crackers. "All done?" Daddy signs. "All done." Hold flat hands facing you, then turn them to face outward. "Eat more," signs Nita. "Eat." Tap gathered fingertips and thumb to mouth. "More." Tap gathered fingertips and thumbs of each hand together. "Eat more, please," signs Daddy. "Don't forget please," Daddy says. "Use your manners. Please." Move a flat hand in a circle over your chest. He gives her more crackers. "Thank you," signs Nita. "Good girl," says Daddy. "Thank you." Touch the fingertips of a flat hand to your chin. Then move them in the direction of the person you are addressing. Nita is nursing with Mommy. "Hungry," signs Nita. "Hungry." Hold the C handshape at the chest, with the palm facing you. Move the C down your chest one time, showing the path of food to the stomach. "All done?" Mommy signs.
