And here I am!
Yes, at Kris' suggestion, we used baby sign language for PC, as he was very slow to develop language skills (was nearly 24 months before saying anything more than "mama", "papa," etc. We just used the basic signs for hungry, diaper change, yes, no, thirsty, go for a walk, and some others. It was very easy to learn - even over the Internet - and it gave PC an opportunity to communicate. I honestly believe that baby sign helped us to keep PC from going GFG on us. I only wish I had known about it for GFG ...

Re: Baby sign language for those w/children w/speech problems
We started baby sign with our 25 month old recently, and what a difference it made for us! She is now starting to use some verbal language (26 months). I recommend it to any parent who's child is having speech delays! Cut PC's frustration down considerably!
Me: 25, stay at home mom, stressed!
DH: 29, great guy!

Re: Baby sign language for those w/children w/speech problems
I have a friend with deaf/blind triplets and they use some sign. They are going to be 4 next month. Needless to say they are quite behind but the sign has lessened their frustration a little. I have also heard of people making up their own signs for things. I tried that with my now almost 3 yr old but wasn't consistent enough to make it work. Besides, he turned out to be a chatter box anyhow. He is a crack up. Tons of personality!
