...or is my baby just unique?

My LO learned to clap a couple weeks ago. She learned to do it in less than a day. I would just say "W, can you clap?" And then I would clap. By the end of the day, she was mimicking me. Now all we have to do is say the word clap and she goes crazy.

Well, this got me thinking that it would maybe be easy to teach her to sign.

This morning at breakfast, I asked her to sign please when she was going crazy for her food (and I demonstrated the sign). It only took three or four asks, and she started doing it!!
Now I ask her to say please, and she instantly does the sign. It took all of five minutes!

I am thinking either a) we just tried at the perfect age, or b) she is seriously motivated by food.
