I remembered that there had been an earlier thread about Teaching Sign to Babies to allow them to communicate before they reached the stage of development where they could interact verbally.
Juju was really hot on this idea, and posted about it in this
now archived thread.
The Jujette was making a fair degree of progress when he last checked in about her.
Today I was reading the frontpage of FoxNews and found this
article that seems to indicate Juju was on the leading edge of a trend, as were Perth and Case (actually, they had him beat by a couple of years).
Interestingly (from a "what a small world" perspective), two of the interviewed folks in the article are local. Ambler is about 10 minutes away, and West Chester 50 minutes.
