We taught our daughter sign language from about 9months old (when I found that website) and it cleared away so much frustration and wasted food from trying to guess what she wanted, that it's one of the few things I evangelise about.

And, no, she has no hearing problems, and it hasn't adversely affected her speech at all. Well, maybe it's responsible for her chattering away all the time, apart from when she's busy cleaning clamps

Thanks Andrew, I'll talk it over with the Misses.... Seems like a good idea.
