Well, today was the first of a six week course we are attending to learn baby sign (makaton) . It was held in a local special needs school and it was great fun.
Grace seemed to enjoy the interaction with other babies but was definatley not amused when I tried to move her arms to get her to feel the signs, each time I done this she let out a yell. Other than that she was an angel as usual.

we go once a fortnight to group in Monifieth (near Dundee) which is specially for Down's and Makaton. Aaron loves it and is starting to pick up the signs quite quickly. His favourite just now is signing to "Hickory Dickory Dock"!! We didn't do much down in Glasgow, so we are enjoyin the experience!!

I would take Mark to a Makaton Class on a Friday morning at a special needs school, there are about 5 other mothers with kids at it, we sign a few songs with makaton signs and the kids love it. It has stopped until after Easter but it is great, I enjoy it too.

We've been doing makaton with Cameron since he was about 9/10 weeks old. We do
Dinner Drink Dog Milk Biscuit Food Up No Bad
I'm sure thats all. He does recognise the signs.
Oh and bed/sleep also
Phew what a list
