12/9/2004 21:35:53 ellie and putting them on top of a truck. I heard her saying people, people and i replied yeah people and she kept saying it
12/9/2004 21:36:22 ellie then I looked up and she was actually signing careful because she didn't want the little people to fall off the truck
12/9/2004 21:36:35 triplethreat@rogers.com oh, that's so cute!!
12/9/2004 21:36:41 ellie and then she signed follow because she had 2 trucks one in front of the other

12/9/2004 21:37:00 ellie I was saying how the words people and careful sound very similar...
12/9/2004 21:37:07 ellie coming from a 2 year old.
12/9/2004 21:37:27 triplethreat@rogers.com Have you been signing with her from birth
12/9/2004 21:37:42 ellie nope from 12 months of age.
12/9/2004 21:38:15 ellie how long have you been signing with your kids
12/9/2004 21:38:44 triplethreat@rogers.com It's just unbelievable, isn't it? The way they can communicate. Why doesn't everyone want to do this? I started when they were 8 months but got nothing
12/9/2004 21:39:14 triplethreat@rogers.com Changed how we were doing it and just started signing as much as we could, introduced the ST videos and in 5 months the results have been awesome
12/9/2004 21:39:32 ellie ST videos are awesome!!!!
12/9/2004 21:39:51 ellie Emily signs to them and will sign even before the word is said
12/9/2004 21:40:00 ellie she knows the order of words on the dvd now
12/9/2004 21:40:03 triplethreat@rogers.com yeah, my girls have started that too
12/9/2004 21:40:10 WeeHands how did you change what you were doing? what made you change?
12/9/2004 21:40:21 triplethreat@rogers.com I took a kindersigns workshop-heheheh
12/9/2004 21:40:40 triplethreat@rogers.com And the instructor suggested that we start with one word-not what kindersigns actually suggests
12/9/2004 21:40:56 triplethreat@rogers.com and so we tried more, eat, milk and left it at that.
12/9/2004 21:41:00 WeeHands i don
12/9/2004 21:41:04 WeeHands sorry
12/9/2004 21:41:06 WeeHands I don
12/9/2004 21:41:11 WeeHands ahhh!
12/9/2004 21:41:23 WeeHands so what worked
12/9/2004 21:41:45 triplethreat@rogers.com but we got nothing-and so at babytime conference a sign2me instructor suggested we sign everything.
12/9/2004 21:41:45 WeeHands was the instructor from kindersigns?
12/9/2004 21:42:17 triplethreat@rogers.com no-in fact kindersigns are not aware of any instructors in my area-but she's using their stuff
12/9/2004 21:42:51 triplethreat@rogers.com anyways-that's when I started researching and bought the videos and voila-we have a pretty good vocabulary going with Halla
12/9/2004 21:43:23 WeeHands she = the instructor from the babytime show is using kindersigns?
12/9/2004 21:43:51 WeeHands how old is Halla now?
12/9/2004 21:44:05 triplethreat@rogers.com Zoe is desperately trying-I can't make out alot of her signs but sbe's trying and Jordan was too busy walking and is just now starting to sign
12/9/2004 21:44:29 triplethreat@rogers.com Their all 15 months and the instructor at babytime conference was Elyza polsky
12/9/2004 21:44:45 triplethreat@rogers.com sign2me presentere
12/9/2004 21:45:40 triplethreat@rogers.com So that's my story
12/9/2004 21:45:58 WeeHands cool
12/9/2004 21:46:08 triplethreat@rogers.com How did you get into it Sara
12/9/2004 21:46:12 WeeHands what were their first signs?
12/9/2004 21:46:25 triplethreat@rogers.com Baby, dog, milk
12/9/2004 21:47:27 triplethreat@rogers.com They only sign what's important to them. Right now it's gorilla
12/9/2004 21:47:53 triplethreat@rogers.com Jordan likes to sign no diaper change cause she hates stopping for a butt change
12/9/2004 21:48:40 ellie emily likes to sign stinky diaper
12/9/2004 21:48:48 triplethreat@rogers.com funny!!
12/9/2004 21:49:08 ellie the first time she signed it we were in church
12/9/2004 21:49:15 triplethreat@rogers.com My girls go in phases when it comes to asking for a diaper change
12/9/2004 21:49:17 ellie people laughed
12/9/2004 21:49:20 WeeHands i'm still in awe that you have 3!
12/9/2004 21:49:22 triplethreat@rogers.com I could imagine
12/9/2004 21:49:45 triplethreat@rogers.com It's really nothing to be in awe about-I was pretty much insane before this happened.
12/9/2004 21:50:06 triplethreat@rogers.com Now i'm just sleepy and insane
12/9/2004 21:50:33 triplethreat@rogers.com I've met other moms who sign with their triplets over the ST chat
12/9/2004 21:50:40 WeeHands sabrina stopped signing for a few months - maybe 2. she is two now and uses sentences that can be 6 words in length. But she just started up again last week!
12/9/2004 21:51:07 WeeHands triplets and signing - there's a PhD thesis somewhere there!
12/9/2004 21:51:09 triplethreat@rogers.com Did she ever do signs only pertaining to activities in books or video
12/9/2004 21:51:17 WeeHands hmmm
12/9/2004 21:51:24 triplethreat@rogers.com Halla will only sign certain things if she sees them in a book
12/9/2004 21:51:34 triplethreat@rogers.com And she won't use the signs any other time
12/9/2004 21:51:58 WeeHands she's signing now for emphasis and to help label food items and animals.
12/9/2004 21:52:17 triplethreat@rogers.com that's cool
12/9/2004 21:52:30 triplethreat@rogers.com Hey do they kick us off at ten
12/9/2004 21:53:15 triplethreat@rogers.com Isn't it funny the things they insist upon?
