20:20:29 tricia_sign_instrr Good for  you. I know I will enventually get burned out with this!
20:20:51 WeeHands do you think so? why?
20:22:24 tricia_sign_instrr Oh, probably because I'm doing to many of the classes. Sometimes 4 a week. I really should consider hiring someone.....

20:23:48 tricia_sign_instrr Montreal correct...? what?  ...
20:25:03 WeeHands sorry lost my train of thought - taking brownies out of the oven!!
20:25:15 WeeHands 'cept their for the kids tomorrow - mmmmmm!
20:25:41 tricia_sign_instrr oooo you do like to bake!!
20:26:14 WeeHands Oooh I love to bake - unfortunately I like to eat too!
20:26:41 WeeHands If I ate only foods I can sign I'd be so healthy!
20:26:58 tricia_sign_instrr lol
20:27:08 WeeHands I don't know how to sign butterscotch brownie with chocolate chips"!"
20:27:24 tricia_sign_instrr don't u teach candy" and "chocolate". I teach them in class"
20:27:38 tricia_sign_instrr #2 and they are a real hit with mommies!!
20:27:50 WeeHands at the grocery store this week Sabrina was hitting the side of her head and I asked her what she was doing and she said look mommy it's lettuce!
20:27:58 WeeHands i never taught her that sign!
20:28:11 WeeHands just a little learning from Signing Time!
20:28:24 tricia_sign_instrr Yeah, it's on Signing Time isn't it!"
20:29:00 WeeHands I do mention candy" and I teach "chocolate" and "mushrooms" when I show the signs for "good" and "bad"  :D"
20:29:41 WeeHands I think it's on the 6th DVD - that one didn't work for us, we just had it replaced so she's seen it maybe 3-4 times that's it!
20:29:42 tricia_sign_instrr Alana called lettuce" in English(which she loved from the age of 12 months) salad until she was 3 years old. I had to argue with her to tell the difference between meaning of salad & lettuce! We still laugh about that."
20:30:09 WeeHands it depends how you make it!!
20:30:17 tricia_sign_instrr I should have used ASL signs way back when, but i didn't know the signs myself
20:30:27 tricia_sign_instrr yes, I agree!
20:33:18 WeeHands for just the two of us - we're not doing too badly!
20:33:39 WeeHands wish I could pass you a brownie and a cup of tea though (no I'm not eating them)
20:33:46 WeeHands :/
20:35:32 tricia_sign_instrr lol , Yes another cup of tea would be nice - my cup is empty!
20:36:49 tricia_sign_instrr I had a mom today register by phone for her 12 month old son. She said he's been signing all done" for awhile. When I asked her how she learned the sign, she said her friends had been teaching her a few signs. I think that is so neat. This signing thing i"
20:36:57 tricia_sign_instrr is really catching on!!
20:37:25 tricia_sign_instrr Do you ever hear stuff like that from your students?
20:39:22 WeeHands I think it's amazing how many families are learning!  Who knows what will happen with all these kiddies!
20:39:58 WeeHands Moms do a lot of talking and they travel in groups, so I'm not surprised that some learn from others.
20:40:26 WeeHands I've got a few students now who take notes in class - it's amazing.  I'd love to see what they're writing!
20:40:56 tricia_sign_instrr Yes, my hubbie is amazed at the telephone, teletype & tele-woman" communication lines lol (So we have another chatter online?"
20:41:39 tricia_sign_instrr taking notes - that kills me!  Keeners? I saw one woman taking notes in an infant massage class!!! and I thought that was extreme!
