My husband and I first heard about Signing Time when our older daughter, Kristina, was a year old. Her grandfather purchased her the Signing Time Volume 1-3 DVD Gift Set for her first birthday. Kristina was four and a half when Olivia was born and we had significantly expanded our Signing Time collection by then.
We started signing with Olivia the day she was born. Every time I would nurse her, I would sign “milk”. When she was six months old, she began to sign “milk”. When Olivia was eight months old, we took her to Baby Celebration LA to watch Rachel perform Saturday and Sunday! That was when we purchased Olivia the Baby Signing Time Volume 1-2 DVD Gift Set. Signing Time and Baby Signing Time are on almost every day in our house. Olivia would sit and watch the same DVD repeatedly and not get bored.
When I shot the Signing Star video, I had not considered what I was going to ask her to sign. After I posted the recording, I went to the Signing Success Guide to see what additional signs I had forgotten she knows, and came up with approximately 45 that she can sign back to us! It is amazing how much she can communicate with us even though she is not especially vocal just yet. For Christmas we bought Olivia the Baby Signing Time Volume 3-4 DVD Gift Set and she absolutely loves her new DVDs! Thank you to all of those involved at Two Little Hands Productions!
Signing off for now!
