I just spent the most relaxing and amusing half hour reading some of Lissa's posts about Wonderboy. It was one of those internet rabbit trails that just kind of lead me to the Lilting House and I just lingered, and I loved every minute of it. Thank you for sharing so beautifully about him. I wish I had been able to meet you sometime before you left Virginia

. And to meet him. He sounds like a charming little boy. How blessed you are to have him.

Now I REALLY have to get me some Signing Time. I did learn ASL when I was younger (taught by a nun, my eight grade teacher, whose parents were deaf), most of it forgotten. And I've read so many families here that love those videos. Any suggestions on which one to start with? I have an age range of 12yo down to 4 months and I would love for all of us to learn.

Maria, I've been wondering this very question too! Where to start? Anybody?

We received VOl. 1, 2 and 3 first. They are good for basic signs to start with. Be advised that Rachel (the mom) is much more animated and entertaining in the later volumes. She was suffering from depression (if I remember correctly here) when they started the series.

We also have the two Baby Signing times videos - these have Rachel and are animated. We also have vol. 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The boys LOVE this seris. We need to get 4-6 and 8 to finish out our library.

Can you check them out at the library to "try before buying"? Our system has both the vhs and dvd. We checked out vol 1-2-3 LOTS, and then ended up buying vol 4-5-6 from Child Signing My girls also love the cd that comes with the package too.

We keep a list of the words that are being signed and keep it in the kitchen. They can practice and I have a list to remember what signs they know. My girls are ages 6,4,3,1.
DH likes them too.
HTH,
