Fun with toddler Signing

I've been more intentional in Signing with the kids since Del was born, especially since there is a hard-of-hearing baby at our church. So with lunch I was trying to get Liam to practice his signs for fruit. He had a pear (which he doesn't quite understand the distinction between a pear and an apple so I'm trying to help clarify that for him), so I Signed "PEAR" for him (left hand with the fingertips all touching and pointing upward, pull the fingers of the right hand from the base of the left's fingers and up toward the fingertips, indicating the shape of a pear).

Then he wanted an orange, which he couldn't remember the Sign for (you open and close your right hand in front of your chin). And then he was saying something about an Apple while Signing "candy" instead (Sign for "candy" is the index finger of your right hand poked into your right cheek and twisted, like you're drilling a hole in your tooth. Apple is Signed by making a fist with the thumb up along the side of the closed fingers - forming the ASL letter A - placing the thumb of that handshape near the outer side of your mouth and twisting a little, so it's a similar location and motion). I tried to correct his Sign by Signing and saying "you mean apple not candy, right?" And he said yes then tried to imitate the Sign for apple... by tapping the finger-side of the same handshape against his cheekbone several times.

And then he got very confused as Mama nearly fell over laughing.

That's the Sign for "menstruate".

Pretty sure his comprehension of anatomy isn't quite THAT advanced yet. Nor do I remember him learning that one on the Signing Time videos...
