A friend of mine sent me this video because she knew my 18 month old is on the brink of talking, but gets a little frustrated when he can't get me to understand what he wants! I popped the Happy Signs DVD in one morning for him while I made his breakfast, barely watching it myself. That evening, I was giving him dinner and picked up his bib to put it on, and he made the sign for "bib"! I was shocked! I put in the DVD again, and sure enough -- the little characters on the video were making the same sign! So we watched it together so I could learn the signs too. The next morning, he pulled me into the kitchen and I asked him what he wanted and he made the sign for drink... again, I was totally amazed! I would love to say it's just that my son is a genius... but I really think it is the video. We watch it about every other day now, and even though he already learned the signs, he really likes the characters and watching the other kids/babies. I wish I would have started this sooner -- maybe he wouldn't have gone through his squealing phase when he was trying to communicate! Oh, and I promise you will get the cute theme song stuck in your head for days.
