Sign Language with children

http://www.kindersigns.com/anim_dictionary.html Check this out for anyone who is interested in baby signing. It is all free it has a dictionary and all you do is click on the word and then it shows you how to do the sign.

We did sign language with Brett because of his developmental delays when he was a baby (Brett didn't talk until he was 3 years and 9 months old). We also did baby sign consistantly with Sophia and she LOVED it...we did it some with Will and he enjoyed it, but it was extremely verbal from an early age and much prefered to talk. I have already started some sign with Luke (not that he even knows what I am doing or why I am doing it) but hopefully it will catch on. My favorite signs are MILK and MORE!

Brett, Hannah and Emily all want to take sign language as to fill their highschool language requirements. They offer classes at our local YMCA, so we plan to check it out.
