My 16 month old adores the Baby Signing Time (4 DVDS) and Signing Time DVDs. We borrowed them from the library. Started with the Baby Signing Time videos that compliment her signing class. She is rather transfixed watching the people sign. <br /><br />After my husband and I felt that the songs from BST were permanently recorded on our brains we switched to the ST videos. There are a lot more. Thankfully the libraries have most of them.<br /><br />Our girl hasn't started talking. She hears fine. But now we are all learning sign language. It's wonderful to be able to "talk" with her using it. She's picking up the signs faster than we are!<br /><br />I'm hoping to be able to do the same thing with Spanish once we start verbalizing.<br /><br />Homeschooling is also the art of teaching your kids new things in whatever way works best for them and you. So, um, technically, you're doing it right. Not that you actually need me to tell you. Just wanted you to NOT feel like you are a bad mom for letting your kids watch a video.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224455482362016377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-39240277100121547382013-03-08T12:54:08.860-05:002013-03-08T12:54:08.860-05:00We do shovel and salt, when Paul gets home in the ...We do shovel and salt, when Paul gets home in the morning or at night. But I don't go out to shovel just because it's stopped snowing during the day when he's not here. <br /><br />The way it works here you legally have 24 hours and then they can give you a notice and then you have three days and then they can send you another notice in the mail, and if, after a set amount of time after that notice you still haven't shoveled then you get a $125 fine (I only know this because they did a big thing on the news the other night). <br /><br />We actually had to sign something that they can leave packages, and we've received a bunch of other packages (and this one should have been tiny) so I think it's probably with the rest of the mail we didn't get (when our sidewalk was clear, the not clear thing was a while ago after we'd got back from MA in January and had been gone for a week). <br /><br />I'm hoping Paul runs into him though to ask. I imagine it's more than just us, since I would think that someone doing this would hit more than one house.

It's possible that the mailman couldn't get up to your door with the snow to leave the package and he just took it back to the post office (and didn't leave a delivery confirmation) and there it is. My parents had an incident with the mailman involving their dog and ever since then, the mailman will only leave mail in thair mailbox, but any packages that don't fit, he takes to the post office and they have to go pick it up. He won't leave any packages at the door. So, it's possible it's at the post office and maybe you just didn't get a notice or it blew away or something.Ameliahttp://onecatholicmama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-50769650268236868422013-03-08T11:18:44.409-05:002013-03-08T11:18:44.409-05:00In my area you are legally required to shovel, and...In my area you are legally required to shovel, and if you don't, I don't think the mailman is required to deliver your mail. (I say this not to condemn you for not shoveling but to offer a possible explanation of why you aren't getting your mail.)Sophie Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984573258370585557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-22414691355452877102013-03-08T09:03:43.715-05:002013-03-08T09:03:43.715-05:00Regarding the mail I'd call the USPS.

If enough people complain about it in your area their might be something done about it. The.Baroness.Von.Korfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785486185254181483noreply@blogger.com
