Stickers as bandaids

The other day, I gave my toddler a pair of scissors. I entrusted that she will cut papers only. So, I went on to do my chores tidying up around the house. Then my toddler came back to me with a book where she cut off the string that was attached to the baby bird. For reference, this book was titled, “Are You My Mama?” I told her that these were supposed to be stuck together. But I guess she figured out the purpose of the scissors. A few minutes later, she came back with a sticker attaching the string to the bird. Then I smiled because I thought it was cute. But for her, she signed DADDY HAPPY! Then it dawned on me she realized she knew she knew she had to get it fixed. I thought it was cute that she used the sticker to fix it. In ASL the signs for bandaid, tape, and sticker (depending on the context) are very similar. So, I see how this transcends to using stickers to repair things.
