Baby Signing Time = "Quiet Time"

For Christmas this year Pat got a Blue-Ray player from Mrs. Claus. He loved it, until a certain little person pressed the power button an few too many times, and the thing died. So back to Best Buy it went...along with Graham's favorite DVD, Baby Signing Times. I went to take it out of the case the other day for him (he was running around the family room with the case in his hands saying "Bay, Bay"-think it was a hint?) and it was gone! Tears then ensued as I couldn't produce the goods. Turns out Daddy forgot to check to make sure the player was empty before it went back to the store. So, Daddy got a new blue-ray player, and Graham got a new DVD! It came the other day, and Graham celebrated by watching a little before his nap. This is the only thing he will watch so intently. I like it because he has learned so many good signs, and it has helped him express himself to me. He regularly uses the signs for more, dog, all done, milk and fish. He says the word as he signs, so no, it doesn't seem to be delaying his speech, if anything, I think it really helps it along. Sometimes the words are just a little hard to distinguish, so the signs really help.
