All of Taran’s usual classes and groups aren’t running this week due to it being half-term. However, we are very sad because we won’t be continuing with baby signing when they all start up again next week. 

I first enrolled Taran in a baby signing class when he was just 4 months old. Obviously, it was more for me than him as it was a chance to get out of the house and meet some other mum’s. We attended our local TinyTalk class and the teacher Laura is fantastic.

We loved going to her classes as they have a lovely atmosphere and are the right combination of singing and signing, singing with musical instruments and then free play at the end when all the parents have a coffee and a natter.

But sadly, after going for 18 months, the time has come to move on to other things. Taran is getting too old for the class and being an active little one he was beginning to get a bit too boistrous around all the tiny new babies.

He still uses several of the signs although his speech is now starting to develop fairly quickly.  Whenever he is hungry, he uses the sign for ”eat” and he also loves doing all the animals signs - dog, cat, pig, horse…the list goes on. 

For anyone interested in signing, I’ve found a great site called http://www.chelltune.co.uk which tells you all about the different signing methods and has some great signing products for sale. It’s definitely worth checking out.

But for us, it’s the end of an era and time to move onto another type of class.
