elias and sign language

By January 8, 2010Blog

Jessica and I communicate with Elias using sign language, and yes, I realize that probably makes us the ideal post for Stuff White People Like. But it has helped us communicate with Elias, giving us the ability to know what he needs/wants and often making potentially “frustrating situations” a little less frustrating.

This video shows a handful of the “signs” that Elias is currently using.

Not that you’ve come to my blog to get parenting advice–which is probably a good thing–but I do recommend Baby Sign Language if you’re a new parent. 🙂

FOR THOSE WHO ASKED ABOUT WHAT “BABY SIGN LANGUAGE” RESOURCES WE USE:

My Baby Can Talk - First Signs
My Baby Can Talk – First Signs

My Baby Can Talk - Sharing Signs
My Baby Can Talk – Sharing Signs

My Baby Can Talk - Exploring Signs
My Baby Can Talk – Exploring Signs

These DVDs are the only “movies/television” that we allow Elias to watch. And he loves them. He started watching them when he was about 8 or 9 months… and by 13 months, he knew 1 sign–“milk.” Then literally in like a month’s time, he knew like 6 or 7 more signs. Friends of ours told us to NOT become discouraged, that one day he’ll just begin picking it up…

Now, he knows 25 or 30 signs… and probably uses 8 to 10 of those on a daily basis. Hope that helps.
