Give Me a Sign - Baby!


How cool to have a gathering of little people, their moms and dads, and even some daycare providers all learning about how to use sign language with little children. It seems that as little ones are developing, they have better control over their fingers than they do over the complex work of the lungs, larynx, tongue and teeth all working together to make sounds. Signing has become a great way to stimulate communication between little ones and the ones who love them! It is kind of like a temporary and limited way of expressing themselves until they get their full voice! Check out this great site to learn signs that encourage vocabulary growth in little ones.
It makes me think of how as I praise God and cry out to Him in prayer, that I still have a long way to go before I come into my full voice; I am limited in how I express myself to Him. I can't wait to be able to let loose oneday in heaven! I'm sure we have no way of knowing what it will be like - singing, dancing, . . .signing?
