Learning Little Signs: Intro to baby signing

Dear Isabelle,

We went to another workshop at the Pump Station today! It was the Introduction to Baby Signing workshop. We learned quite a few different signs and Mommy is going to try to use it with you everyday so we can start to foster a 2-way communication.

It seems like you understand what Mommy is saying to you on occasion because you have the same reaction whenever we do, for example, nowadays when we tell you it's time to eat, you start smacking your lips together! And when it's diaper time, you lift both your legs up. It's very cute!

So we started the class out very nicely, you were sitting and playing with the toys Mommy brought you along with the other babies. After a while, you decided that the neighboring baby's toy was MUCH more interesting and so you rolled over and stole it! Mommy gave it back, and you rolled over and stole it again! You have been fascinated with this toy lately. It's called the Oball rattle by Rhino Toys. Your hands just gravitate to it whenever you see it! So after class, Mommy had to get you one. It's now one of your favorites, pretty much up there with Sophie la Girafe! Enjoy your new toy!

Love, Mom

Izzy and the Oball

That's the one that bends right? It's a GREAT teething toy believe it or not!

I've been looking for it too and only Granville Island sells it but is too far to go get it haha!
