seriously am i getting too old and cynical but really!! baby signing!!! has the world gone mad...

clicked on to the website and apparantly I no longer have to guess whether mindees are hungry/cold/wet/scared/drunk(made that up).. i should know because they can sign to me and I can underststand....

is it me.. or do I know that by instinct and knowledge allready.. or dare I say commen sense....

god its bad enough when kids actually can bloody well talk without including the ones who cant yet verbalise....

i can only think that parents who subscribe to this dont have teens.. god for the gift of silence then!!!

there seems to be an industry and a job for any silly crap these days.. gaar gaar and goo goo(that means pour me some wine btw)

I did signing with my DD and we got a lot out of it in our house. But yes, I don't have teens and at the time most of my conversations were with a baby DD, so it was nice that she had a bit of a wider vocabulary than gaar gaar goo goo because of signing.
