ASL

I have been fascinated with the possibility to communicate with babies through sign language. I bought a method based on ASL (the American Sign Language) but I wanted to join a class too. I know that classes for babies are all the rage, even though most are totally useless. And granted, when I went to try it out, Max spent most of the class munching on my watch, staring at a nanny who looked a lot like his own nanny (who was on vacation), and sucking pensively on his fingers. 

Max started to use all the signs I had been teaching him at the same time, around 17 months. He was so happy to communicate! He has also made up his own signs, that we use together.
