Thanks so much for the tips! I’m looking forward to teaching Isabel. I took level 1 ASL a few years ago and just love the beauty of the language.

[...] Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Things I Love About My Hubby (Challenge) So, a couple weeks ago I was “talking” to someone on Facebook and learned that she was getting divorced. It made me very sad. What’s even sadder is that I know several couples my age that are going through this horrible thing. As a child of divorced parents, divorce breaks my heart. It so upsets a child’s balance and understanding of unconditional love. Not to mention what it does to the adults who are going through it. And, I know that wanting to get divorced doesn’t happen over night. It’s a decision you slide into. As I was “talking” to my friend I realized that we all need to remember (often) why we married our spouse in the first place. Even when we are angry with them, there are things we love about them. And, we need to tell them those things. How often do you look at your spouse and think, “Oh, I love that he…” and keep that thought in your head. They need to hear you say it. You need to hear them say it – right? That day I sent an email to all the folks in my small group and challenged them to stop what they were doing immediately and write down/type out five things they loved about their spouse. Then, when they were together that evening, they were supposed to share their list with their spouse. The stories that came back were great!! Everybody did it, and everybody benefited from it. So here is what I wrote for my hubby plus five more… The Top Ten Things I love About My Hubby: 1. He loves me no matter what – the greatest gift I could ever get. 2. He loves our daughter. 3. He will play endlessly with said daughter and make her giggle with delight. 4. He works hard at his job – both for us and for the people he serves there. 5. He listens to me – REALLY listens to me. 6. He challenges me when I’m wrong. 7. He can make me laugh in just about any situation. 8. I fit just right in his arms for a hug. 9. He is the best in-home IT department I could ask for. 10. He mows the lawn. What are the top ten things you love about your spouse? I challenge you to stop what you’re doing, write them down, and share them. Who knows, it might make a huge difference today. For more Top Ten lists visit ohamanda.com. [...]

I love, LOVE Signing Time. Love. My kids adore all the ones we have, too. I have a college friend who had a Deaf child and before he was born, it never really crossed my mind to teach my kids (real) sign language. We did some baby signs, yes, but these videos really help get a base of the language to begin to build on. And I feel good about my kids watching "TV" when it's so useful. .-= Moriah @ Please Pass the Salt´s last blog ..Lest you think it’s always roses around here =-.

I can’t believe that I forgot to stop by and put my link in MckLinky! Wondered why I didn’t have many comments! Anywho….

Great list! I totally agree on all accounts. Ladybug is up to about 175 signs now at 27 months old. We definitely want this to the beginning of a 2nd language for her.

I’m totally with you on the signing! We used it with O because his vocabulary was very limited and it worked wonders! When he did finally start to talk, it was an onslaught of words all together. {He has some hearing issues, as well, and as soon as we figured that out it all came together- and signing the whole time had been HUGE!}
With our second, though, H, he talked SO EARLY that he hardly used signs. I wished we would have done more of it and we still incorporate them in, but he’s just a big ole talker who doesn’t stop moving long enough to sign. We’re working on thank you, but he just looks at me and says “thank you” clear as day. I think he’ll be teaching ME signs soon! ha!

And thanks for the diaper dance. I’m have that in my head ALL DAY!!
