I hope all you dads had a great Father's Day! It seems like with your really young babies and toddlers that moms get all the bonding fun but remember that signs are a great way you can bond with your baby too. You can be the adult in their life that finally understands them! Dads often attend Baby Signs® classes with their baby or toddler and it can be a real eye opener and tons of fun! 

Austin finally got a little rain this year so I hope you all enjoyed fireworks on the 4th. Here's the sign for FIREWORKS.

Happy Signing!

Independent Certified Baby Signs® Instructor

This Month's Featured Location

This Baby Signs™ Certified Center offers sign language from the infant rooms to the 3-yr.-olds. Parents receive newsletters with signing information and ideas along with periodic log sheets of the signs their child is learning so they can track their progress and continue the benefits at home.

Infants at Leaps-n-Bounds receive valuable tummy time and early cognitive training to get them off to a great start. As they grow the signs and activities are relative to their age and development and they have loads of fun at the same time. Here's a sneak peek into one of the classrooms..... The Walkers

Near Far West and Mopac this center is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with full-time, part-time and custom options to meet your family's needs. No appointment is necessary to visit this reasonably priced, quality school. See more...  Leaps-n-Bounds.

Upcoming Classes/Workshops

This class is focused on the older         

toddler/child (2-5 yrs.) who is adjusting to a new baby (expected to 6 mths). Children will learn games, songs, and a few signs and other things they can now "teach" their new baby at home. They'll even make a craft and take home a little book to help them track their baby's success as they grow. Parents will go home with great ideas and tips to help them promote positive sibling relations when they return home. The cost is only $15.00 for this one-time class. Class can be attended with or without baby.
