I found one source which suggested pinching your fingers together at waist level (ala pins) but most sites say to use the sign for change. I did both and DS quickly picked up the change sign (although when he did it, it didn't look like "change") <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

we've always used "change"

The book that we have suggests patting your hip.

This is the sign that I used with deaf adults. Pointer & middle finger tapping thumb, kind of like a pinch.<br><br>
But, really any sign would work - as long as you are not planning on having your DC use the signs to communicate with deaf people who use ASL.

i like the change idea, id never heard that one.<br>
im trying to get cassandra to sign but mostly she just yells:<br>
POOP!<br>
over and over very loudly. even when its pee<br>
you can hear forks drop when we eat out <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/bag.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Bag">:

My little one invented her own signs. When she says "poop!" it means she wants to sit on the potty.

we use the ASL sign of "pinching" the thumb & forefinger together. dd's version is closer to patting her hips.

We use "toilet." You make the "t" sign and shake your hand back and forth. I guess we'll use the same one for potty when it comes to it. Haven't really thought about it.<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/baby.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="baby">boy:
