When I had my first child I heard about baby signing just before I went back to work. And the classes clashed with being in the office so I couldn't go.
Ever since the early stages of both my pregnancies I've spoken to my bumps and then to my babies - poor things they never hear the end of it. But naturally before they can talk back it's hard for them to be able to communicate back.
When I saw that there would be a Little Signers Club course at the local childrens centre I jumped at the chance to go. At the taster Freya was one of the youngest but I was determined to learn some essentials so she could hopefully communicate back.
And for six weeks we went along and picked up some helpful tips. My girl is still quite young and not quite showing signs back to me but she seems to respond to the actions I show her - milk and food always get a big smile and a giggle or squeal so we're making some progress. And she certainly likes the songs with actions, and as my toddler came along to the taster he's good at showing the actions to Tiny Tim too!
