When Arthur was a baby, we signed with him. He got very good at it and even though his doctor seemed to have a problem with his lack of speech, by the time he was 2 he could sign 60 different words. Pretty amazing even for a kid who doesn't sign. Right after he turned 2 he was able to put together four and five word sentences. His speech was so articulate and even now people ask why he isn't in kindergarten.
Since we had such great results with Arthur, we have chosen to sign with Balin too. He's already picked up about five signs and tonight for the first time he put together two words: "more ball." He's only nine months old and practically speaking in sentences!
He's a bit sloppy in his signing yet, but I'm confident that he will become more coordinated as he gets older. I'm excited to be able to converse with him, just like I did with his brother. I am reminded of Robinson's mom whenever I sign to the kids because she used to sign with Arthur when he was a baby. I miss her.
Blessed be.
