Baby Signs @ Malaysia

I am very excited to received an email from Jamie, mine Baby Sign Instructor. They are blogging. Visit them @ The Baby Signs(R) Program in Malaysia

Baby signs reduce the tension I had with my son and it increases the bonding between us. I hope it does the same to you all as well.

Happy signing everyone!!!

Walt Disney : Cars

My son loves this movie a lot. He watches it over and over and over again. I lost count how many times I watched this together with him.

When he watched it, especially the racing part he will said “car, car, fast fast”. He learned it from me. LOL.

Another part, when the movie came to the heyday and near the end of heyday. My son will said “car,car, sad, sad” + moving his finger dotted down from the eye to the cheek (sign for sad). Then I will replied “Yes, cars sad because no cars coming to visit them anymore.”

When came to the last race, the green car purposely bang the blue car. He will point at the green car and said “Bad bad”. Guilty again, I taught him that as well.

While on the road, he will say “car, boom boom”. LOL suppose to be “VROOM~~VROOM”. He is very close in getting the correct sound. One day he will get it correct.

My Son's Alligator

This alligator toy, I brought from IKEA. The first time my son saw this green toy, he grabbed it, hugged it, kissed it and he never let go. At first, I did not have any intention to purchase this toy but I had too when my son vomited onto this alligator. I told him, alligator needs a nice bath. Then, he did a sign for bath. LOL

My son's alligator. We named him "Alli". There was one time while travelling from Perak back to KL. Something happen.

My son said "Mommy"....

I said "Yes" and I looked at him.

My son said "Alli, ngoi ngoi" (ngoi ngoi meaning sleeping), he was actually flipping Alli's eyes downward.

His action really put a smile on my face. Then I said "Yes, Alli ngoi ngoi". He replied with a shy smile. I could not help myself, I hugged him tight and put a kiss on his forehead.

My little precious, surprise me in any way.....

Baby Signs

When babies are young and when they start to talk in their baby language and we as parent do not understand what they want or what they are saying. No matter how hard we tried, most of the times we still failed to understand their needs. When we failed to understand them, tantrum will start, sometime leaving us no choice and opt-to ignoring or disciplines them.

I wish I can reduce the tantrum if I did not understand his baby language. I want to reduce the stress between both of us and making both of us understand each other better. I came across Baby Signs through a birthday party.

I attended Baby Signs Workshop when my son was 6 months old. I started signing with my son after the workshop and was hoping he will sign back. His first sign to me was after 11 months. He wanted to master his walking skill before start signing to me. He took his first step when he was 16 months old without support. About 17 months, he started to sign with me – making me the happiest mommy on earth. Well, it took me about 11 months to see the result – it worth every effort.

When he saw something he knew, he will signed and I will gave him a big applause when he got it correct or correct him if he does not. When he wants something or wants to share something with me, he will let me know by signing. Signing really help me to understand his needs, reduce stress level between us and we understand each other better.

Whenever he learned a new sign, he will showed it to his nanny and nanny has to keep guessing what it is. LOL.

Now, he is about 24 months and he knew about 80 baby signs. He dropped a few signs, picking up new words and new sounds.

His favorite activity right now is repeating every word I said to him. Extremely curious child.

So, let those little fingers do the talking....
