2.3yo, no speech, done two wees on the potty today. We are just starting to learn sign along, but haven't got the wee sign yet.

Does anyone know please?

I don't know about signalong but the MAKATON sign for toilet is touching your collar bone with the middle finger of the opposite hand and moving backwards and forwards either with the other fingers slightly raised or tucked away.

More people are not tucking the other fingers away though now because it looks like an up yours signHmm.

We use this as a general toilet sign for wee and poo but say which it is. IYSWIM

Well done to your LO for 2 wees on the pottyGrin.

Thats the sign for toilet I think.

We use W sign repeated twice for wee wee and thumb and forefinger pinching nose for poo. sign for potty is right hand grasping handle of old fashioned potty, while left hand traces rim of potty in a circle IFSWIM, those are BSL/SSE signs btw.

Hope that's useful

We do the toilet sign, with two fingers brushing the shoulder twice.

Signandsmile was just looking for the running off thread, how's it all going??

Thank you all :o

I am fairly certain it was just good timing (and a lot of force encouragement from DS2!) rather than that he is actually ready, but it can't do any harm to try while he's willing :)

Sorry, just picked this up.

Wee: working fist, palm back, pointing in (across the body), held in front of lower chest, moves down changing to open hand, palm back pointing in/down.
(comes from " First Words" Signalong handbook)
