Gymboree has a class. It is very expensive and from what other moms have told me, not worth the

Oprah is having someone on today's show that does a baby sign type of thing. Maybe you can watch it or have someone TiVo it?? Just a thought.

Re: baby sign classes

We have a babysigning class here at a local church, I keep meaning to go but from what I hear its very difficult with a mobile baby for them to learn anything. So I think we might skip it. I have heard good things about a signing DVD called Sing and Sign...My friend came around with her 1 year old and she kept chasing my cats and doing the cat sign, she also does the sign for mouse when she see's something small.

This might be a British site, but it gives you a good idea

I HIGHLY suggest it! Alex's daycare gives her sign classes 3 days a week, and at this point, at 13 months, she understands and signs:

more
give
please
thank you
mommy
daddy
teacher
gentle
milk
food

Everyday she comes home having learned a new sign... I love it!

My friend told me about this place in Smithtown. They have all sorts of classes including Baby Signs, Music Together, etc. They also have a nursery svchool that is supposed to be pretty reasonable. Here is the Website

My daughter signs. I don't think a class is necessary at all -- there is no way your baby will learn at the class, its just to teach you what to do and you can learn that from a book or talking to other moms.
