This morning Rob & I went to a terrific community education class - baby sign language. Learning sign language enables babies to communicate their needs earlier and more effectively than babies who do not sign (think of baby signing "milk" instead of screaming). The reasearch has found that babies who sign also aquire verbal language more easily and have greater reading, writing and verbal skills later in life. In addition, sign language can be used as a bridge between different languages.
We are very excited about this opportunity to give Nora a skill that will serve her well throughout her life!
