Harriet's first (unspoken) word.


Hello again.
I know I've already posted a blog today, but I have to tell you this...
Before we even conceived Harriet her dad and I decided that teaching our baby sign language would be a good thing. All the babies we'd seen that could sign were so much more content than your average baby. They really seemed to benefit.

So as soon as we found out that I was pregnant we ordered the book and DVD and waited excitedly for the day when we'd eventually start signing with her. In fact, so excited were we that we started four months early. About five weeks ago.

Tonight Harriet started to grizzle so I asked her if she wanted milk, and I signed "milk" as I said it.
Blow me down if she didn't sign milk right back at me!
I asked again to be sure, and she did it again! So I offered her milk and she really did want it!
I'm chuffed to bits! She already knows how to tell me she wants food; she mimes eating. I just need her to tell me what bit hurts when she's uncomfortable and we'll be all set for a super-content baby.

Maybe she could tell me what the hell she's babbling about too. That'd be interesting.

Bye and thanks for reading this little blog.
