I wasn't sure I wanted to teach Lily baby sign language for a couple of reasons. First, we want her to learn Portuguese and I'd rather spend my time teaching her that than sign language. Second, I've heard of too many kids who delayed speaking because they could sign and I didn't want Lily to have that problem. A few weeks ago Dusty asked me to teach her baby sign language because it worked for his youngest brother Cole and he thought it was cool. He doesn't usually question my parenting or ask me to change what I do with Lily so I felt like I had to comply. Lily loves the Baby Signing Time DVD that we have. It's actually been really nice because she will watch it while I cook dinner or do something else around the house. We've only watched it a couple of times so she hasn't picked anything up yet but she gets excited when she hears the music for it.
