Nauvoo

We had the opportunity during spring break to visit my ol' mission stomping grounds when we attended the wedding there of one of Chris's friends! It was sunny for most of the time we were there. Then, on the last day it began to snow! I've always wanted to see Nauvoo in the white coat of snow that may have been like the snow which covered the ground there when the early latter-day saints left their beautiful homes. I couldn't even get out of the car... I wouldn't have survived that bitter cold day when the saints began their long treck west.

Signing for babies and toddlers

Last month I began teaching a signing class at my house for caregivers and babies/toddlers to learn signs to help build vocabulary and communicate better. It has helped Hyrum so much! His vocabulary is growing and he has learned how to speak better because of it. Signing with babies and toddlers is said to totally get rid of the TERRIBLE TWOS! So far, I believe it! Everyone is welcome to join us on Monday mornings at 10am. Let me know if you are interested! Learning sign language for babies and toddlers is as easy as getting on-line and typing in ASLpro.com. They have a specific link for baby signs which are the basic words you need to communicate with your baby/toddler.
