Baby Signing Times

One day I was complaining to my friend Tiff about how my girl was hanging on me in the mornings as I was getting ready, I had a hard time taking a shower, etc. She mentioned I should buy "Baby Signing Times" as her daughter Eliza and niece Millie - really liked them. I just said -"I've been trying to teach her sign for 5 months....it's not working." And also- my girl really didn't like TV so I wasn't sure she would watch it. Well- Tiff was right. Mila loves the Baby Signing Time videos. I really didn't care if it was teaching her sign language.....if it kept her occupied for 20 minutes in the AM- I was thrilled. But, after months and months of instruction with little success - Mila now, with the help of Baby Signing Times DVDs, signs: dog (both when she sees a dog and hears a dog bark), cat, milk, more, eat, hat, thank you (looks like she's blowing kisses), please, brush teeth, wash hands, and all done. She also now does the little dance/signing routine from the beginning of the video. I really did not want her to watch much TV and - to be honest- this is the only thing she watches but it has been so worth it. And- it even works on our tough/fussy days.

  1. Oooh, I'll have to try this with Janie. Janie also LOVES the Praise Baby Christian DVD's. The music is so uplifting and the short clips of babies playing and other animals/images keeps her happy for several minutes!
