Hi sonia |
|
20:12:50 |
sonia |
Hi,..Thanks |
|
20:12:55 |
WeeHands |
poor babies :( |
|
20:13:03 |
signingminionmaker |
poor me!!!!!! |
|
20:13:22 |
signingminionmaker |
I'm at my wits end. I have no clue what to do. |
|
20:13:52 |
signingminionmaker |
sorry sonia, just a little rant. |
|
20:14:03 |
sonia |
I understand |
|
20:14:22 |
signingminionmaker |
So, amazing story!!! |
|
20:14:28 |
WeeHands |
how are the other girls? |
|
20:14:42 |
signingminionmaker |
Fine, in fact Jordan has been surprising me with her
signing. |
|
20:14:57 |
signingminionmaker |
Today out of the blue she asked to watch the movie with the
moon. |
|
20:15:12 |
WeeHands |
movie with the moon... |
|
20:15:26 |
signingminionmaker |
I had no idea, but brought out Baby Galileo hoping that
would appease her and it was what she wanted. We hadn't
watched this movie for months |
|
20:15:51 |
signingminionmaker |
So I kind of thought it was a fluke. But she did the sign
for moon again later on. |
|
20:16:26 |
signingminionmaker |
So I started showing all sorts of her normal movie requests
and no, she keeps signing movie and moon. Halla picks up
her sign and starts saying and signing moon |
|
20:17:20 |
WeeHands |
too cute! |
|
20:17:21 |
signingminionmaker |
Well I ask her to give me more info, what else is on the
movie. She signs plane and dog. Well there is a part in
the movie where a goose flies by a couple times(animated)
and she had thought it was funny. |
|
20:17:47 |
signingminionmaker |
Then the host is a kangaroo, a sign we don't use much and
well it could very well be a dog. |
|
20:18:09 |
signingminionmaker |
So, if I had listened to her in the first place, she wanted
to watch Baby Galileo again. |
|
20:18:12 |
sonia |
signs for moon, dog......I guess I'm with the advanced class
:? |
|
20:18:38 |
signingminionmaker |
No, not at all. |
|
20:19:27 |
sonia |
:) pardon me...go on... |
|
20:19:30 |
signingminionmaker |
Dog is simply a thigh slap and moon is a C made out of your
pointer finger and thumb up in the sky. |
|
20:20:04 |
signingminionmaker |
dog was actually one of the first signs my girls picked up.
Sonia, how old are you little one/s? |
|
20:20:09 |
sonia |
how 'bout basics for my 8 month babe? |
|
20:20:30 |
WeeHands |
little boy or girl? |
|
20:20:36 |
sonia |
girl |
|
20:20:49 |
WeeHands |
not that it matters for signing...but just for conversation
- he/she thing! |
|
20:20:57 |
sonia |
sweet |
|
20:21:01 |
WeeHands |

|
20:21:43 |
sonia |

20:23:06 |
WeeHands |

|
20:23:19 |
signingminionmaker |

prefer? |
|
20:23:42 |
sonia |

|
20:23:47 |
signingminionmaker |
baby doll |
|
20:24:07 |
sonia |
sounds good to me....is she too young? |
|
20:24:23 |
signingminionmaker |
no way!!! She's the perfect age!!! |
|
20:24:33 |
WeeHands |
Okay, signs you want to use with her are: mother, milk, dog,
walk, laundry (?), baby - that's 6; add maybe 4-9 more and
you'll be fine! |
|
20:24:46 |
signingminionmaker |
babydoll |
|
20:25:05 |
sonia |
:) |
|
20:25:12 |
WeeHands |
most babies sign between 9 and 12 months but we've had
stories of wee ones signing earlier. The most fun with my
wee ones was between 12 and 18 months |
|
20:25:27 |
WeeHands |
there 4 and 2 now and it's still fun though! |
|
20:25:45 |
sonia |
okay so how about mom? dad? |
|
20:26:14 |
signingminionmaker |
Alright, write those down and here's an awesome place to
look up those signs online: www.commtechlab.com. Did I
spell that write? |
|
20:26:15 |
WeeHands |
try going with this list and add, maybe 'change, book, ball,
AND dad' and you're at 10 signs that you can use with her
daily |
|
20:26:39 |
WeeHands |
you can also find this online dictionary on our site
www.weehands.com |
|
20:26:49 |
sonia |

|
20:26:55 |
signingminionmaker |
Of course, why do I keep forgetting that? |
|
20:27:31 |
WeeHands |
it'll become second nature! |
|
20:27:38 |
WeeHands |

|
20:28:05 |
sonia |
Now I feel at home |
|
20:28:49 |
signingminionmaker |
I started signing with my triplets at 10 months and it has
been awesome!! You're going to love being able to talk to
your wee one. |
|
20:29:41 |
WeeHands |
okay, you've got your starting list - you can add to that as
you get more comfortable with the signs |
|
20:30:06 |
sonia |
I'm so excited. I will let you know how it goes. Wow
triplets. Thank you much |
|
20:30:09 |

20:30:25 |
