sign for 4 years old

[Charles Butler]

I agree with your rendering Adam.  The agreement seems to be not to write the rotation if it can be understood from context, but one does need to show down and out, he's showing away from the body and down.

I can see exactly what you mean with this spelling, but I am confused 
by the use of "rotation" in your question as there is no rotation 
written here. Did you want to have the palm change orientation? If 
not, then you are fine. You have the hand arcing from the chin in 
towards you and then back forward.

Now, I am not saying that you are wrong, but here is how I would write 
4 years old if I were just writing it myself. I wonder what others 
will write. ;-)
