Yeah, it's very popular right now. If you have the time and money I think it's a good idea. I wish I would have have been more interested when I had mine.

I was hoping to actually find a website with the signs they recommend. Etc.... Haven't yet. But amazon seems to have lots of books on the topic.
It's not very common yet, it's probably hard to find someone who's done it before.

I think that's really interesting. And a really good idea. I think I might try that when I have kids. If I have money for a course like that... Or maybe even try it myself.... It's worth a try.

i may order a book from amazon.Ca i'll let you know if it's interesting. I figure it can't hurt to try :) sound like lots of fun. I can take a couple months for the baby to start using it... But hey

Cool. Sounds good. Maybe I should start refreshing my memory of some of the signs... Might come in handy later.

I do sign language with my 3 year old nephew. He has down syndrome so its a really good thing for him as he has very little speech just now so it helps him communicate with us. In the process of teaching his 1year old brother now.
Also im in the process of learning another sign language called makaton which we use at my work (i work with children) this really helps children with autism etc as again it helps them with communication etc.
