First Sign Language class




We hosted the first of our Signing classes here at our house. We have a total of 8 family pairs taking the class..so there is quite a lot of us! It was such a nice day out, so we decided to have it out on our front lawn. The weather was perfect, and it was a great start. We learned the entire alphabet, along with other words that I think I already knew. I am going to be practicing every day though, and plan to have the first signs that Adelaide learns be for Milk, Food, More, cat, water, mommy and daddy. I have been trying to do those signs each time I say the words to her..oh, and also "finished". I thought those would be good to start with. We will see how long it takes her to pick it up. I think she is really smart, so it shouldn't be long before she is signing away. I just have to be sure and keep up with it!

This signing course sound very interesting. I'm sure Adelaide will learn new signs very quickly. I've seen a video of little todlers signing and I was so astonished.

You've got beautiful garden. Such a great place to live in.
