Hi Sara |
|
16:16:33 |
WeeHands |
hi there! |
|
16:19:54 |
romasood |
Am new to this chat, my name is Roma,
have signed to my baby since she was 11
months old and it made all the
difference in the world! |
|
16:20:10 |
WeeHands |
wonderful! |
|
16:20:14 |
WeeHands |
who old is she now? |
|
16:20:48 |
romasood |
SHe's 22 months now...has moved to
talking (all the time!) but am trying to
get her to keep the sings going too so
she has an additional language when she
grows up... |
|
16:21:41 |
WeeHands |
LOL! |
|
16:22:04 |
WeeHands |
it's funny - we worry so much will they
talk and when they do - oh boy! |
|
16:22:28 |
WeeHands |
it's the same with when will they walk"
and "will he ever eat"!" |
|
16:22:32 |
romasood |
I know! :) |
|
16:22:48 |
WeeHands |
what area of the world are you in? |
|
16:22:56 |
romasood |
Yeah, the latest is I think she can't
see colors coz she REFUSES to recognize
them ( though I know she can) |
|
16:23:03 |
romasood |
San Francisco area |
|
16:23:11 |
WeeHands |
can't say colours or see them? |
|
16:23:21 |
romasood |
say |
|
16:23:57 |
romasood |
she sings and is very bright, but is not
interested in saying the right color,
they're either all red or all yellow!! |
|
16:24:04 |
WeeHands |
wonderful that you are in SF; I'm in
Toronto |
|
16:24:26 |
romasood |
I read somewhere that an 18 mth old
should be able to distinguish colors, is
that true? Most moms I spoke to
disagree... |
|
16:24:26 |
WeeHands |
have you heard the Rainbow Song" by
Signing Time!?" |
|
16:24:52 |
romasood |
Is that the Brainy Baby one? They have a
Rainbow of Colors song...the same one? |
|
16:24:58 |
WeeHands |

Be happy and enjoy your time away from

Well I have to tell you I miss the days
when they were all ,learning sign...It
was quieter! But they are greatBaby
Shower Check out my www.babysignuniv.ws |
|
16:39:15 |
romasood |
me too! |
|
16:39:16 |
romasood |
:) |
|
16:39:58 |
babysignuniv |
I've been watching old videos
lately...Cute as they were I do not miss
the diapers I changed diapers for 11
years straight! |
|
16:39:58 |
WeeHands |
one of our instructors in canada used to
teach through kindersigns |
|
16:40:10 |
romasood |
hmmm, have debated so much about even a
second, you might have some inpiration
if you can still say they're great...how
do you keep your sanity? |
|
16:40:27 |
romasood |
whoa! |
|
16:40:45 |
babysignuniv |
I have begun my introduction to what
baby sign is all about through
Kindersigns...but have to say the
support has been lacking |
|
16:41:06 |
romasood |
signing is funny that way, we wait for
them to talk, but when my daughter
started dropping the sings because of
moving on to speech, I actually felt
nostalgic! |
|
16:41:26 |
babysignuniv |
Sanity? Is that really true? I just
put myself in time out! |
|
16:41:59 |
WeeHands |
romasood i agree |
|
16:42:20 |
WeeHands |
i can't recall the word but it's a word
my son signed and did not say for a long
time |
|
16:42:28 |
babysignuniv |
My children still sign today! It has
helped them in school many times Tests,
Talking to friends, etc... |
|
16:42:32 |
WeeHands |
it must have been some sort of food |
|
16:42:54 |
WeeHands |
one day he made the request and i walked
to the kitchen to get it and then
stopped in my tracks |
|
16:43:09 |
romasood |
wow, that's pretty cool. babysignuniv |
|
16:43:12 |
WeeHands |
i realized he had just said the whole
phrase and not signed it |
|
16:43:16 |
romasood |
ha ha! |
|
16:43:18 |
WeeHands |
it blew me away! |
|
16:43:24 |
romasood |
and made you sad too isn't it!! |
|
16:43:44 |
WeeHands |
yes, it did! :( |
|
16:43:51 |
babysignuniv |
My second daughter had a speech delay
and used sign until she was 3 and a
half! Now she is the loudest ouf all of
my kids! |
|
16:43:57 |
romasood |
Yeah I think the biggest thing with
signs is that my baby has leanrt the
concept of communicaiton...she babbles
so much we have a hard time
understanding |
|
16:44:09 |
romasood |
but she knows she can create a sign if
we don't get it |
|
16:44:16 |
WeeHands |
he used to call the hockey team for
Montreal the Montreal McCanadians"" |
|
16:44:21 |
WeeHands |
now he doesn't :( |
|
16:44:32 |
babysignuniv |
Enjoy the signing...It is so precious to
see little hands communicating! |
|
16:44:33 |
WeeHands |
oh, and we rarely go to mcdonalds! |
|
16:44:38 |
romasood |
she FINDS a way because she knows she
CAN make us understand..it's so amazing |
|
16:44:59 |
romasood |
i have a great story, the other day she
wouldn't sleep so I went up and she kept
saying, Mama kak o bak |
|
16:45:02 |
WeeHands |
huge self esteem benefits! |
|
16:45:10 |
WeeHands |
:) |
|
16:45:19 |
romasood |
and I just didn't get it, she repeated
so many times, kak o bak |
|
16:45:30 |
romasood |
finally i told her I don't understand
you , now close your eyes |
|
16:45:31 |
babysignuniv |
Being atuned to your child's
communication techniques is so important
It makes her feel that she is important |
|
16:45:31 |
WeeHands |
i'm trying to figure it out |
|
16:45:56 |
romasood |
and she looks at me with the look mom
how can you not get something this
simple" and then flips over on her belly
and points to her butt" |
|
16:46:04 |
