Signing With Aloha is coming to C.O.F.F.E.E!!

Signing With Aloha classes are coming to Central Oahu Families for Fun, Education and Enrichment (C.O.F.F.E.E)!

Come learn American Sign Language (ASL) signs to help improve your child’s communication skills, reduce toddler tantrums, perhaps even increase their IQ and have lots of fun! In each class you and your child will engage in music and movement, learn the ASL signs to the words you use every day, and enjoy a craft activity!
Class will be held once a month on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.  Each class is 45 minutes in length, starting at 10 am at Celina’s home in Mililani.
Cost per class:
C.O.F.F.E.E. members: $10 for the first child, $5 for each additional child
Non-C.O.F.F.E.E. members: $15 for the first child, $5 for each additional child
There is a maximum of 10 adults per class, please RSVP early! Payment accepted at class, cash only.
If you are a non-C.O.F.F.E.E. and are interested in joining, please contact Katrina for more information.
FOR SAFETY PURPOSES: Only families who have already met Celina or Katrina are invited to this event. If you have not yet met us, please attend a public meet-up or email us to schedule a play date in a public location.

Rachel Coleman's inspiring blog post about child wearing!

Hello my awesome friends and followers...and you first timers! I have to share this with you!
Rachel Coleman, the co-founder of Signing Time has a blog! (www.rachelcoleman.com) She recently posted about what a positive experience her and her husband Aaron have had with baby wearing their two, now pre-teen daughters.  What warmed my heart was Rachel's account of how continuing to wear her now eleven-year-old daughter, Lucy (who was born with spina bifida and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 9-months), has allowed the Coleman family, especially Lucy, to experience moments that otherwise would have been lost to them.  Wheelchairs and strollers were an obstacle for the Coleman family, baby/child wearing was their answer!
I hope all of you are as inspired and heart warmed as I was by Rachel's story!  Never let others or society prevent you from doing what feels right for you, your child(ren) and your family!  I will continue to carry my almost 2-year old, happily and proudly in my Ergo carrier (www.ergobabycarrier.com)! I hope you share Rachel's story with someone and I hope it inspires them to be the parent they're meant to be!
Also, I shared this with Ashely, co-owner of Baby Awearness (www.babyawearness.com) at Manoa Marketplace...and she shared it on BabyA's Facebook page! Thanks BabyA!
