Today the little one and I were signed up for a Baby Signing Introductory Course with WeeHands. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to not having enough people sign up, I did not know this before I walked over there. However, the instructor of the course, Sara, came out to greet me, loved the babe to pieces, strolled the stroller into her room and sat down with me for twenty minutes anyway. She gave me a list of words to begin practicing with the little one, all words that we would use often with her. She talked to the babe and me, gave us information about the program, took my information to send me more, and let me know she is hoping to do another introductory session in August. I must say I was absolutely impressed, Sara was amazing, and she has convinced me both to go to the next introductory class and sign up for the course come fall. I think our little one will love learning sign, and it's such a wonderful way to communicate with baby when their words aren't quite formed yet. We walked home in a refreshing mist, smiles on our faces as the baby played with the handle of the umbrella I had fashioned as a cover for her stroller.
Our list: mommy, daddy, cat, owl, peas, book, jump, music, more and milk. Please check out WeeHands if you are interested in something like this.

Wonderful! Checked out their website and it is very similar to the Baby Signing Time classes we take and if that's any indication as to how much fun you guys will have signing with Nora then you should definitely register. Would it be on weekends so you can all go as a family? How nice of Sara to give you a private session. What did Nora think of Sara using her hands to communicate?

She loved it, she was laughing and trying to grab her hands. I think if I stick with the signing, the babe will pick it up quite quickly. :D I am hoping it is a weekend or weeknight, since it will be in the fall and I will be back to work.
