Update on Olivia's baby signing


Well it's been 3 weeks since our family holiday at Easter time. Olivia now signs 'bird' without me having to ask her. Whenever she see's or hears a bird she signs it. I think she is so clever and so does she. Ava is also helping me teach Olivia to sign. I have now taught her to sign 'dog' which she does most of the time, when i ask her. I am also in the process of teaching her 'finished'. You can see her trying to sign it but she just does not have the co-ordination yet. I know she is doing it. I have been showing Ava and Olivia our 'Animal' flash card set. They both enjoy looking at the cards together.
I would really like to hear anyone else's 'baby signing' stories. Please feel free to email me at kylie@signingstars.com.au

Olivia signed back!!!


We are all down at Batemans Bay for Easter long weekend. When we were all down the beach on our first day, and when ever i saw a 'bird' i signed 'bird' to Olivia. She would look for a bird. Then on Sunday she signed 'bird'to me. when we were all down the beach. Ava was having alot on fun chasing them. I was signing 'bird' to her and then to my surprise she signed back!!
Also that night when she was having dinner. I was doing the usual ritual of signing 'eat' with every spoonful and then she signed 'eat'. She made me a very excited and proud mum. Now there is no stopping her!!!!
