🙋🏻‍♀️ We're back! Trearddur Bay, Anglesey has been an absolute blast! Last time we went there I said it was my favourite holiday, but this time has topped that! Sunshine, sea, bbq on the beach, sand castles, rock pools, a National Trust, a trek down to a lighthouse (and back up again!), board games, rounded off at the end of the week with a spectacular thunderstorm.

🌊 To start off with social media again, I thought I'd share a little personal signing story from my holiday. We were a two minute walk away from a beautiful little beach, with calm, clean sea, so we were down there every day. I wouldn't usually want to swim in the sea, but I couldn't resist this time. It was so much fun! We bought a little inflatable boat that my daughter could sit in (because the water was COLD 🥶), and I pulled her along while I was swimming.

🏊🏻‍♀️ One evening, my husband was in charge of dinner so my daughter and I went down to the beach for a swim. I told him to come and get us when dinner was ready. He stood at the top of the beach and we signed to him that we'd be having *one* *more* *swim* - we didn't want to get out!

😌 I hope you've all had a lovely half term, one that included some R&R. See you back at TinyTalk on Monday!

Why we love...

🎶🎵 Singing! 🎵🎶

🫂 Singing in a group releases endorphins and oxytocin, encouraging bonding between those in the group - including between the grown-ups and their babies!

😄 Group singing can also produce the 'happy hormones', serotonin and dopamine, so it can boost your mood!

🤱 Singing to babies can help them become more aware of the structure, sounds and rhythms of language, promoting language development.

👶 Babies are also more likely to focus and be engaged by singing that is directed at them - perfect for getting their attention for signing!

⭐ Repetitive melodies and rhythms become familiar, and therefore are comforting and soothing for your baby.

🥣 Signing Story from class this week... 🥄

~ 'Arthur was sat eating breakfast and when he'd finished, he signed *all gone*, then quite clearly said, "more!"' ~

💭 This is a great example of how language and signing works together! Arthur could sign *all gone* and he knew exactly what word would come next... "More" please!

👩🏻‍🍼 There's nothing like newborn snuggles! 👶🏻 I got to meet my new baby niece this week. She's absolutely beautiful! I'm so proud of my sister and her husband, and so proud of my nephew too for being a patient and loving big bro. And if you ever wondered what it's like to have a sister/auntie who's a TinyTalk teacher... Yes I did sign *milk* at baby Emilie every time I got to feed her, I did ask my sister where her signing pack was, and I did start rattling off the times and days of her nearest TinyTalk classes and the name of her local teacher. Because sadly it's not me! In all honesty, I was probably a TINY (get it??) bit annoying. 😂😅

🥳 Two signing certificates to celebrate this week! 🎊

🎠 Freya actually reached her 25-sign milestone a couple of weeks ago with the sign for *more*, but since then has signed even *MORE* things, including *horse*, *apple* and *bath*. She's also been exploring her emotions with the signs for *happy* and *sad*, signing *sad* when she heard a baby crying one day. Wonderful, Freya, well done!

🥣 Arthur has achieved 10 signs this week with the sign for *all gone*. He was eating his breakfast one morning this week, and when it was gone, signed *all gone*, and then very clearly and assertively said, "more!". Amazing communication, Arthur, well done!
