Christian's Baby Signs Class

We enrolled Christian in a Baby Signs class so we could all learn to communicate using sign language until Christian starts to talk. We were sold at the demo class the moment our instructor's daughter, Briley, started signing to her mom that she wanted some cereal. It was amazing!

The class is 45 minutes and involves singing, a parachute activity, story time, snacks ... and everything involves learning a variety of signs. The kiddos are all younger, and easily distracted (including Christian who several times decided he'd rather crawl off and explore his new world than sit down and participate - and that is fine).

Its fun to see Christian interact with the other kids, and we get to learn the signs and spend the week in between classes trying to incorporate them into our conversations.

Here are some absolutely adorable pics of Christian ... and some with his new friend, Briley.

We have been teaching Isaiah sign language since he was about 6 months. Did you know that Briley is my next door neighbor?

I knew that ya'll lived on the same street ... but I didn't know you were next door neighbors. How cute! :)

Gosh - he is getting so big and what a cutie!! Baby sign is such a cool thing. I wish I had something available like that when my kids were little!
