Wow! After reading this, I am really thankful that I gave my daughter the gift of communication (sign language) before she was able to speak in order to help alleviate stressful situations!

about signing with your little one? I will be doing a demo for Mommy Connections Calgary South  during their next session! Be sure to check it out!

We provide educational and social connections for the modern family before baby and beyond!

_ Today at dinner she signed water, we give her water at every meal and sign it then tonight she signed it!My daughter started signing milk on new year's day in front of a bunch of relatives! My husband caught it as I thought she had something on her finger. She suddenly kept doing it and looking at me. So I went and nursed her while he explained the signing thing to his family, they thought it was the most amazing thing to see!

Thank you for sharing Melanie!
"Calla has been kind of signing "milk" for over a month now. Just this past week she started signing more with closed fists which is amazing! It is so great to communicate with her this way and see the rewards of taking the signing class. Thanks to our instructor Melody!"

Thank you so much for attending my classes! I am so lucky to have a job that I love and to meet such wonderful families!
Here are some of the comments I received from the participants:

Excellent knowledge of signs and enjoyable atmosphere.

So much fun! Thanks Melody!

I would definitely recommend this class!

Melody is so enthusiastic. It is fun for me and my baby! The songs are great!

I would recommend this class because of the time it promotes with your child and the early communication it encourages.

Looking forward to Level 2!

We really enjoyed the classes.
