it's a sloooow afternoon! :) |
|
15:14:26 |
WeeHands |
hopefully all the babies are napping! |
|
15:15:31 |
Terabith |
yup |
|
15:15:44 |
WeeHands |
how old is your little one? |
|
15:15:49 |
Terabith |
well, at least mine are. hooray |
|
15:16:03 |
Terabith |
my oldest is 20 months and my youngest is 3 months |
|
15:16:41 |
WeeHands |
wow! my oldest was 27 months when my youngest was born |
|
15:16:46 |
WeeHands |
are they both napping? |
|
15:17:18 |
Terabith |
for the moment, yes. oldest should be out for awhile;
younger is less predictable |
|
15:17:32 |
Terabith |
it hasn't been as arduous as I had expected it to be. |
|
15:18:25 |
WeeHands |
you should be napping as well! |
|
15:19:32 |
Terabith |
i guess. i don't tend to sleep well at night if i nap
during the day. we've been so blessed that they are good
sleepers. |
|
15:19:48 |
WeeHands |
that's so good to hear! |
|
15:20:27 |
WeeHands |
is your 20 month old signing? |
|
15:20:32 |
Terabith |
with catherine, as a newborn she wanted to sleep thru th
enight, and we'd have to wake her up to feed her. i stopped
doing that pretty early though. now she sleeps about 6-7
hrs straight, and then goes back to her 2-4 hour eating
schedule. But she sleep |
|
15:20:48 |
WeeHands |
that's amazing!!! |
|
15:20:49 |
Terabith |
s with us so it's not too big a deal; don't have to wake up. |
|
15:20:55 |
WeeHands |
i'm so jealous! |
|
15:21:08 |
Terabith |
yes, anna signs - about 60 or so signs. we love it. |
|
15:21:23 |
WeeHands |
yeah! |
|
15:21:25 |
Terabith |
yeah, sleep wise, i've been majorly lucky. i don't deserve
it, i know. i was a terrible sleeper |
|
15:21:54 |
Terabith |
what is wee hands? is it a signing program? |
|
15:22:54 |
WeeHands |
yes, we teach parents to sign with their babies! |
|
15:23:17 |
Terabith |
that's wonderful. so, it's a class? for the parents, not
with the babies? |
|
15:23:46 |
WeeHands |
signing babies, signing tots etc. |

15:24:58 |
Terabith |
we've looked for classes around here, but san antonio seems
to be kinda non signing as a community |
|
15:25:40 |
WeeHands |
oh there's been so many san antonio mom's on the alexandleah
group |
|
15:26:44 |
WeeHands |
i've been talking with someone who may start teaching in
Frisco Texas but that's probably no way near you? |
|
15:27:57 |
Terabith |
yeah, i'm just discovering that. it's so exciting. i'd
never even thought to do a anyone else in SA out there"
mailing, but it seems there are quite a few of us. Yay! I
really hope we can get together." |
|
15:28:07 |
Terabith |
no, i don't think frisco is nearby. |
|
15:28:14 |
bonellen |
good afternoon all |
|
15:28:31 |
Terabith |
Gymboree is planning on doing something with signing in the
fall, but i don't know how good it will be, or really
anything about it. |
|
15:28:35 |
Terabith |

15:28:43 |

15:31:14 |
Terabith |

|
15:31:37 |
bonellen |
hey terabith! |
|
15:31:48 |
bonellen |
not a lot of signers in tx... |
|
15:31:56 |
WeeHands |
how else would you spell it!! |
|
15:32:02 |
bonellen |
seems much more popular in northeast & california |
|
15:32:08 |
Terabith |
ya'll |
|
15:32:24 |
Terabith |
were just talking about that, bonnie |
|
15:32:28 |
WeeHands |
and in seattle and canada |
|
15:33:21 |
Terabith |
yeah. i think toronto or seattle or even portland would be
so wonderful to live in |
|
15:33:45 |
bonellen |
too much rain in the MW |
|
15:33:47 |
bonellen |
NW |
|
15:34:10 |
bonellen |
do you have signing babies, terabith? |
|
15:35:27 |
Terabith |
i have a 20 month old who is signing. and we're starting to
sign with our three month old. you? |
|
15:35:40 |
bonellen |
my son is 20 months today! |
|
15:35:54 |
bonellen |
but we have only just begun discussions about having
another! |
|
15:35:55 |
WeeHands |
happy birthday! |
|
15:36:22 |
bonellen |
he signs all of the time |
|
15:36:22 |
WeeHands |
two 20 month olds! |
|
15:36:40 |
Terabith |
well, to be honest, catherine was slightly unexpected. we
didn't plan to have them so close together. but it's worked |
|
15:37:08 |
bonellen |
spencer will be closer to 3 when/if we have another |
|
15:37:31 |
bonellen |
we have been signing with him sine about 7 or 8 months |
|
15:37:41 |
bonellen |
and he's been signing back to us since about 9-10 months |
|
15:37:51 |
Terabith |
that's awesome |
|
15:38:49 |
Terabith |
how did you get interested in signing with him? |
|
15:39:24 |
bonellen |
when he was born, we got a copy of Baby Signs from my
cousin. she had used it with her kids and loved it |
|
15:39:41 |
bonellen |
we used that as our guide and his vocabulary simply
exploded! |
|
15:41:13 |
bonellen |
what about you? |
|
15:42:45 |
Terabith |
sheesh. what happened? |
|
15:43:32 |
WeeHands |
some times we get kick out sadly |
|
15:44:01 |
Terabith |
we got Sign with your baby when she was about 3 or 4
months. started with milk, then added eat and more as they
became applicable. she started signing milk at about 7
months. we got Signing Time when she was about 15 months.
that made her vocab explode |
|
15:44:38 |
bonellen |
we have a few different signing dvd's, one is the signing
time vol. 2 |
|
15:44:58 |
WeeHands |
LOVE SigningTime |
|
15:45:03 |
bonellen |
now he goes around singing and signing the please & thank
you" songs" |
|
15:45:12 |
Terabith |
that's awesome! |
|
15:45:16 |
Terabith |
is he talking much verbally? |
|
15:45:22 |
bonellen |
oh yes! tons |
|
15:45:36 |
Terabith |
sigh. anna's not, at least not understandably. |
|
15:45:45 |
bonellen |
we also have recently gotten a couple baby signs dvd's and
he loves those too (bedtime & bathtime) |
|
15:45:59 |
Terabith |
tell me about those. what are they called? |
|
15:46:08 |
bonellen |
My Bedtime Signs |
|
15:46:12 |
bonellen |
My Bathtime Signs |
|
15:47:11 |
Terabith |
what sorts of signs are in them? |
|
15:47:32 |
bonellen |
they are a bit different than Signing Time... they spend
about 4-5 minutes on a single sign. fewer words than signing
time, but more time on each word. i like having both for
him. |
|
15:47:56 |
WeeHands |
can't wait to get the baby signing time new dvds - just
pre-ordered it today |
|
15:48:16 |
bonellen |
um, i think bedtime had moon, stars, light, sleep, book... |
|
15:48:26 |
bonellen |
ooh, new signing time dvds??? |
|
15:48:41 |
Terabith |
yeah, i'm gonna order them today or tomorrow as well. |
|
15:48:52 |
bonellen |
i think my friend from houston might have her daughter in
them... |
|
15:48:57 |
Terabith |
that does sound nice |
|
15:49:07 |
bonellen |
i remember she flew for filming a few months ago |
|
15:49:40 |
WeeHands |
http://www.signingtime.com/babysigningtime/ |
|
15:49:49 |
bonellen |
cool, thanks sara |
|
15:51:35 |
bonellen |
ah, pre-order for 9/6. |
|
15:51:54 |
bonellen |
i was about to order another volume from the main series,
but i think i might wait for these. they look cute |
|
15:53:39 |
Terabith |
yeah, i think so. what volumes do you have of the regular
series? |
|
15:53:50 |
Terabith |
volumes 7-9 are coming out later this yr too |
|
15:54:10 |
WeeHands |
they are going to be all animal themes as well |
|
15:54:13 |
WeeHands |
too cute |
|
15:54:16 |
bonellen |
wait, i think my friend said they went for filming for 7-9,
that sounds right |
|
15:55:03 |
Terabith |
that would have been neat for your kid to be in them |
|
15:55:12 |
bonellen |
there don't seem to be opportunities to buy them for less
than full price, is that true? |
|
15:55:57 |
bonellen |
(i don't mind paying, just wondering if there was something
i didn't know about) |
|
15:56:59 |
Terabith |
not that i know of |
|
15:58:14 |
bonellen |
anyhow, i have found the two different series to be nice
complements to each other |
|
15:58:39 |
WeeHands |
i wonder if you bought them from canada if it would be
cheaper |
|
15:59:18 |
WeeHands |
i don't think it would make sense though |
|
15:59:39 |
bonellen |
no! |
|
15:59:41 |
bonellen |
:) |
|
16:00:31 |
bonellen |
quick signing question |
|
16:00:41 |
bonellen |
is there a special sign for hot air balloon"" |
|
16:01:09 |
bonellen |
or would balloon" work just fine for toddlers?" |
|
16:03:31 |
bonellen |
ok, i need to head out. bye for now! |
|
16:03:55 |
WeeHands |
i think balloon" or "big + balloon"" |
|
16:06:19 |
Terabith |
ok, yes, i need to head out too. thanks. |
|
16:06:52 |
WeeHands |
