Baby signing

So Monday we went to our first ever Baby signing class "Sing and Sign." It was quite fun, though it was only us there, as everyone else seems to be on holiday. Fair enough, I will not be there next week, as I will be away. Baby was just crawling around the room, pulling herself up on the chairs, and playing with whatever she found, and at times actually paid attention to the singing and signing. Our teacher, J, seems really nice and friendly, and her daughter El is just so cute! I learned the basics "eat", "more", "drink", "all done" and a few animals. Ahh and the twinkle twinkle animal song! I wouldn't be surprised if "duck" is baby's first sign. Really looking forward to this. Another great thing, is the same teacher has just signed at the nursery baby will be attending, which is great as she will have the same system with me and at chilcare! I am hoping that signing serves as a link between my Spanish, and the world's English, and will help her understand both languages and lessen her frustration. I am starting to try to get into the habit of signing, and I can't wait until the day she signs something back!!
