I have always been interested in sign language. I was even a deaf ed major in school before switching to elem ed. My ASL teacher was so wonderful I didn't even mind going on Saturday mornings for 3 hours. I don't remember how I came across it but I thought it was so cool to teach E sign language. She knew the signs for cereal (c.heerios), dog, cat, light, moon, stars, more, drink, and a bunch more. My Mom was amazed that E could tell her when she was hungry or tired. E could tell us what she needed before she could talk. I started teaching Squeakers and Peanut a couple of months ago. Peanut picks up on the signs quicker than Squeakers but I know constantly signing is the key. I also found these great websites that are a great resource:
ALS ProBaby Sign Language Basics
These books are great too. We also have the ones for bedtime and my first baby signs. These are nice because they have pictures of babies doing the signs.
