I think this is so cool. Kate knows, or did know when we first met, a fair amount of sign language. Ah, that explains the Flickr picture! I think this is so cool.

I taught both my kiddos sign language and it was wonderful! At first I learned from online resources, then I stumbled on Signing Time videos and fell in love. I didn't use them until after my son turned one (I had this idea he shouldn't watch TV until then. That went out the window with my second child). :) Anyhow, you might want to check out their clips on youtube, they are so fun and educational. I ended up buying all of season 1 and 2. The best age for both my kids to use sign language to communicate was between 18-24 when they were really struggling to get the words out but couldn't express what they wanted to say. Then they would sign. At about 24 months they were able to speak better and started signing less. Of course all the little signs up until that point were great too! :) You are a great mom and are giving your little one an awesome gift by helping him communicate! This is awesome!
