A Note From Tina
Bluebonnets!

Time for Bluebonnet pictures! Have you done them yet?



Do you remember these kids? These are the five Jones babies in the television series "Quints by Surprise" on TLC a few years back. I was on Episode 9 (I think) when the babies came to my Sign, Say & Play® Class. That was an interesting experience indeed!

A lot is happening in the next few days so read on to get in on the action.

Happy Signing,

Tina

TOYBRARY AUSTIN
Happy Wallets. Happy Kids. Less Clutter. Less Waste
7817 Rockwood, Ste. 101, Austin, TX 78757

Toybrary was one of the hosts of the Big Baby Bash & Toddler Jam that Baby Signs® by Tina C. participated in last weekend and if you haven't been there yet, make a point to stop by with your child soon. Sometimes it's hard to buy for a young child because their interests are hard to gauge. A membership to Toybrary can save new parents big by borrowing toys they can bring back and exchange for different ones when their child loses interest. Watch owner Liza's video on her home page that explains it better....




Coming Up Soon
Big Baby Bash & Toddler Jam

Thank you to all the parents who stopped by my booth Saturday. One lucky family won the Potty Training Made Easy Kit drawing and another family won the Individual Home Training. For another chance to win a potty training kit, join me at Baby Earth April 19th for the Green Spring event (below).

About Tina
Are you the parent of a baby or toddler and you are frustrated and overwhelmed because you can't understand what your child needs or wants?

Baby Signs® Instructor Tina Cavanaugh is here to help you break the communication barrier! With a few signs, babies as young as seven or eight months are able to express their needs, wants, feelings and even memories. Doing this strengthens the infant/parent bond early and gives your child a jump-start toward speaking and early literacy.

With 10 years of sign language training and five years teaching Baby Signs classes, Tina shows parents how to be amazed and thrilled over and over as their baby or toddler begins to share their world with them. Being involved in a process that builds confidence and good self-esteem early in children is huge and the stories that parents share with Tina about their success is pure joy for her.

The play classes go far beyond just learning a few signs. Parents go home with information about how their baby learns and develops intellectually and emotionally through those all-imporant first few years of their lives. Come join the fun that everyone's talking about!
