Favorite

Favorite is signed by tapping your middle finger on your chin. You take an open palm, indent your middle finger slightly, and tap it on your chin.

The same sign is used for taste (sometimes with the finger tapped a little higher on the lips instead of on the chin).

SIGN USAGE

Favorite is a useful concept with older babies, because it introduces the concept of choice and making decisions. For snacks, you can give your baby a couple of different options and ask, "Which one is your favorite?" When they respond, you can ask them to append favorite to their answer. For example, signing back, "Cracker (is my) favorite," instead of just, "Cracker."
