How could I forget!? Zora also signs...more, eat, & "milk" for nurse. (Although now she says something like "bubbies" & attacks my chest, too. :) We are working on please & thank you as well as all the others L. enjoyed signing, but for now she's got the "important" ones down (those which involve being fed!). I highly recommend the "Signing Time" series for getting kids interested or helping them learn sign. It's a neat way to communicate & yet another language (ASL) for our small people to learn (pretty easily). Here's a shameless plug for the Coleman clan of Signing Time...
1.the videos are short (20 ish min.), so great for kid's attention span & those of us who only allow so much "screen time"
2.they show "all kids" (races, ages, different abilities) signing & having fun
3.your small one will be able to communicate better when he/she is non-verbal
4.your toddler will be able to sign with others who use ASL
The "story" of how the series began is pretty neat. (Go back to the above link to read it.) Happy Signing!
Here are two examples of the signing songs from the DVDs... Diaper Dance. Catepillar Dreams.
