I've got three daughters. We taught them all basic sign language long before they could speak. It was simple things like "more", "banana", "cracker", "cookie", "muffin", "peas", "bread", and bodily functions like "I have to shit and pee". You know, the stuff that matters to infants. My eldest is 21 now and quite proficient in ASL. Hell, even the dogs know a good deal of sign language. Then again, we can't spell in front of the dogs - they know it all.
