Here in Hastings (an no doubt in other places too) we have signing classes for parents and babies, so they can communicate what they are feeling and what they want before they learn the spoken words. xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-92030023798763785402014-06-22T12:57:27.015+01:002014-06-22T12:57:27.015+01:00Mum was telling me about a TV programme she was wa...Mum was telling me about a TV programme she was watching about babies. It featured a deaf couple with a hearing child. The couple communicated by sign language and apparantly the baby was using sign language from 5 months old. I found that interesting.

I loved reading...What a beautiful child Iceni is. <br /><br />I loved reading how Hebe told Fiona to stop louding. Children are so wonderful...truly full of wonder.<br /><br />You speak/write now and again of how different your family is, not fully able to do the same things job-wise in the world as perhaps some others, the need for quiet and contemplation. How there's a tendency toward depression, etc. I definitely relate to that with my family. But this post highlighted to me how insightful, wise, kind and knowing your family is. How they look out for each other, not just with words but with feelings and tacit understanding. I think you are all blessed to have each other, and I can only imagine how Michael and Iceni will tell of the memories they have of their grandmother and how she loved and taught and understood them. <br /><br />I have mightily resisted being withered by some in my family, and I fight being a witherer myself. It seems to me that a person could really bloom in yours. xoxoJulie B.http://www.justjulieb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-36387606946265563542014-06-19T01:02:55.895+01:002014-06-19T01:02:55.895+01:00'Elimination Communication' is what you ar...'Elimination Communication' is what you are looking for :-)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189856847748499925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-4901763066312900332014-06-18T11:43:19.382+01:002014-06-18T11:43:19.382+01:00Ah, how interesting!

They used to to mean I feel the same way, or I want one too, or I agree, or yes I think so too. A most excellent phrase.<br />Another saying (this was Hebe) addressed to their baby sister - "Fiona!

I wish now I had paid more attention. I know there were nouns & verbs, little else, but it was inconvenient having 3 speaking a foreign language! They were in high school before they really stopped using plural pronouns to refer to themselves. It was always, we, us, ours, never I, me, mine.Ganeida.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17603207937256174104noreply@blogger.com
