So lately Keith has shown us that he can do sign language! Great, I know! We actually did sign language with Anna. We bought these videos - which are wonderful. I highly recommend them to anyone with a child - special needs or not. Keith is such a smart little tike. He can sign "more", "eat", and today he did the sign for "no." Since he can do the sign for "eat", I have been requiring it before each feeding. Did I mention that Keith is also a stubborn boy? Let's just say that it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to ONE HOUR before he will show me the sign for "eat." This has been going on for 3 days now. I had a meltdown yesterday because of all the "niceness" that I've had to have during his hour-long fits. The hard thing? He knows how to do the sign. Every time he does it. He just doesn't want to do it. Grrr. I am eager to communicate with my boy - so I am soldiering on...
Kristina also loves using sign language. She watches those videos every day and asks for them by name. She can do the following signs: yes, no, please, I'm sorry, don't like, like, eat, thank you, more, milk, cereal, banana, ice cream, play, mama, daddy, girl, boy, I love you, sleep, sad, cry, & happy. Invalid, indeed. I am a mama of such smart kids! :o)

Kristina can do A LOT of signs. That is great. Keith will get there. You are very patient with him. You are a good mom.
Love signing time! It's a great tool for kids that struggle to communicate verbally, as well as those that don't. It's also fun and educational, and the music is great too. I love those!
Signing Time is AWESOME!!!
What videos did you start with? There are so many to choose from.
Thanks,
