It's Thursday! One of my favorite days. Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.
Her rules are really easy:
1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)
2. Look at the week's prompt
3.
Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a
story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.
4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.
5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.
6. AND most of all.... Have fun!
My first thought this morning with the word sign was a video I received from son and dil of my grandson doing "baby sign." Sorry, but I can't figure out how to move it from fb to here so I can't show you. But this baby sign thing seems to be the rage with young parents. I have a couple of co-workers with babies and they are also teaching it to them. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind it but there's a good article about it here.
My second thought was of the flowers out in front of the building I work it. A sure "sign" of spring!
Then there are those signs we see everywhere. I like this one.

Our grandchildren have also learned to sign. I always get it wrong however it is great to be able to understand what they want before they can speak.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how we all got along before this generation figured out how to figure out what their children are saying before they speak???
ReplyDeleteThank for pondering with me
Its amazing how smart those little ones are, imagine what they could add to our world!
DeleteI took classes to be an interpreter but never finished. Sometimes I still talk to myself in sign...
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought. I think most parents figure it out, though.
ReplyDeleteIn college some of my friends and I got books and taught ourselves some basic signing. We used it all the time just because we could, I guess. I haven't used it since then and don't remember any of it but the alphabet and a handful of words. Maybe the younger generation got the idea from that movie, Meet the Parents.
ReplyDeleteI think the idea is that it helps bypass that whole whining, screaming and pointing phase. they can still "tell" you what they want - even though they can't speak. pretty cool how much they can learn so young.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I need one that just says "beware the mom".
