I love signing time. We picked up the older videos. I really wish there was a next step because now that our boys are older they think those are too babyish, but they were learning so much for a while.
ReplyDeleteHi Gale,
DeleteI am glad you stopped by! :)
I've heard rumors that a new season of Signing Time is coming in the next year or so, with teenage Alex and Leah! I'm really excited for my girls to have something to grow into!
This is really neat! My best friend is using sign language to help her now 8 month old communicate. It's the neatest thing ever to watch her be able to communicate without words. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Taylor! ASL is such an awesome way to communicate with all children--I'm so glad our speech therapist recommended it with our oldest daughter. Our girls are 2.5 and nearly 6, and we still sign ALL the time: when our mouths are full, at the park, and as "helpful hints" when we sing our memory work songs for homeschooling! Thanks for leaving a comment. :)
