SignMeUp Baby

Sign Me Up for a Happy Home is practical, inclusive, and easy to use. I’ll definitely be recommending it as a resource to my clients.

I have to tell you how excited I am!! I’ve been working on “sleep” with my daughter because she gets soooo cranky when she’s tired. So little tiny victory today... she was crying and I signed “sleep” and she immediately stopped crying looked at me and smiled! I took her immediately to her crib and signed it a few more times. But she UNDERSTOOD 😍 It is best feeling EVER. She was so pleased I understood her. I am definitely going to start using more of them now. Just wow wow wow... Thank you for sharing this!

I always knew I wanted to teach my daughter, Esme, some sign language. I knew it would help with her speech development and also just every day communication. Esme has had chronic ear infections which has led to some hearing issues. Unfortunately her ear tube surgery was canceled today (thanks, Covid-19.) We have been going hard with your book the last couple of weeks and she is regularly signing these 3 signs (all done, milk and bed) and we hope to have the rest down by the end of the month. The “all done” was the most important one seeing that it can be used in many situations. I liked being able to see your children do the signs (even if not perfect, just like mine) but knowing we would at least understand. The book has great everyday words/signs that can be used constantly! I like how it had the laid out directions with pictures to help you understand. Of course, your attention to detail with colors, pictures, and placement was not overlooked. Thank you. - , Royal Oak MI (Daughter Esme, 15 months)

My daughter is 20 months old and was born deaf! She has a "soft diagnosis" of a neuromuscular disease called CMT4b3 (Charcot Marie Tooth disease). This is most likely the cause of her hearing loss, but we have learned to embrace every difference she has! When I saw your sign language book, I nearly jumped!! Your book, in comparison to others we have, is definitely easier to navigate! The pictures are perfect for learning the sign, but the simple directions are what make it! So many examples are hard to understand when actually put into motion. I love the detail that you paid attention to! It is essential for getting the signs right. Of course we already knew the signs before getting the book, but even Larkin was able to differentiate the signs by just seeing the signs by the book characters! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

 

Again, thank you for all of your effort that went into this book. My husband is a HUGE fan of your husband, and now - seeing how inclusive you are is awesome! I guess I just wanted to thank you for creating something for all families! We can't wait for more! 😍

Hi Elise, 

I just wanted to send a note and say thank you for being a sign language advocate. 

My son is speech delayed and I began looking into sign language a few months back after seeing you use it with your kids and it has been SO helpful with our son. 

Your book is so beautiful and easy to understand. It’s quickly becoming a favorite in our household. 

I bought an additional copy of your book to share with my parents, who sometimes watch our son and it gave them several AH-HA! moments with understanding what our son signs to them. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just wanted to tell you - you and your book inspired me to start signing with my baby a few months ago and she’s picked up a few signs. But my 4 year old has seriously taken off with it. She knows so many signs and is constantly asking me to look up/ teach her more. She now uses them interchangeably with words and it is amazing!! She now says she wants to do sign language as a job when she grows up! The  book is not just for babies or toddlers! Thank you SO MUCH!

Hi Elise! I wanted to message you and tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I started following when you were in Detroit.. I live 40 mins from detroit! I discovered tiny organics from you and it has helped my son so much, he was born with anatomical issues and when I purchased their meals it changed his life! I also wanted to thank you for making such a cute and easy to follow sign book!! Reed doesn’t use many words and I started your book today and he already knows “more”! I feel like I have already heard less whining today! Keep shining- I’m watching and learning from you from afar. You’re a rockstar.
