• Your Stories:
  This month we feature a very excited Anneka!

“Hi Jackie, well reading the other stories of bubs signing I knew I had to write and share our success. We have been signing to Anneka from about 1 month old (some might think this is a bit earlier but it was more about getting my husband and I into the habit – like you suggest a few key signs and we were on our way. Anneka getting very excited The funniest to date is whenever the vacuum cleaner or hair dryer are used we often see Anneka busy playing, stop turn, look have a bit of a giggle and then do the sign for noise! Sometimes she also gets a bit over excited (as she is in this picture!). We have been really impressed (as have kindy!) with the ease that Anneka is able to express (pre-verbally) that she is tired, wants food or milk. Thanks for the encouragement and support.” Kim Hoskin NSW
