PRACTICE SOME SIGNS:

“MOM”

With your dominant hand in the 5 handshape, place the thumb just under the corner of the mouth (not directly underneath the nose).

“DRINK”

With your dominant hand, make the C handshape and rest the thumb on your chin. Tilt your hand back as if drinking from a cup, leaving the thumb in place.

“YES”

With your dominant hand, make the ‘S’ handshape, hold it up, and nod its “head” twice.

“I LOVE YOU”

Hold the dominant hand up, with the pinkie, index finger, and thumb extended.
