Cameron as been signing "more" with our help. Tonight at dinner he finally signed "more" every time I asked if he wanted more to eat! This is Cameron's first sign.

WTG Cameron!!!

It was just a short while ago that Emma first signed "more". It is SOOOOO cool when you really get to start communicating and they start responding. Good job Cameron!

Well done Cameron! Keep up the good work Mom!

The signing classes we got from our SP have been the service I most valued.
It's transformed communication with Robert and ourselves.

Watch out, Carmeron will take off with the signing once he finds he can get what he want with it!
Great news!

That is great. What programs or books did you guys use to learn basic signs? I am not sure which to buy. Thanks

Oh how fun!! I love it when they start to do that. More was the only sign I knew and we have taught all the kids that one.

I told our Early Intervention instructor that we were interested in learning sign language. She is teaching sign language classes to our whole family. She also had our local AEA purchase the entire set of Signing Times, at my request, so we'll be able to borrow these.
