BSL.

Today was great! It was the first day for our new staff and I have to say that I am super-excited. Everyone was asking questions and actively engaged...it's going to be a good year. Now I can't wait until we have everyone back.


This probably belongs more on my brother's blog (you know...the one with the adorable babies on it). He was blogging about communicating with his 10 month old twins and how it can be challenging at times. It got me thinking about baby sign language and then I stumbled upon this lady and her signing baby:


As an educator in a school with an early childhood program...and one that has a ASL program to boot, I get to see baby sign language firsthand. It absolutely blows my mind. I was in a supermarket a while back and I saw a woman with a baby and they were walking through the produce section signing a bunch of fruits and vegetables. Never mind that I don't know ASL myself and they may just have been faking it...but still.

P.S. I love how at the end of the video, the baby signs for more cheerios. Hee!

love it! We are trying with Jack. So far he only does eat, more, all done, and milk. But that is probably more because I keep forgetting what the signs are for other things so he only sees them rarely. I'll have to go dig my book out now...
