Fiddler On The Roof

    I had the privilege to watch this amazing show twice.  What an amazing group of directors, actors, musicians, & signers.  Yes I said signers!  One of my friends Heather Lemon was one of the signers.  It was a joy to watch the actors and then to look over and watch the interpreters!  Thank you League of Christian Actors for putting on a wonderful show for Tulare County! 
   If you want to learn more about Heather Lemon's passion go here:

Getting the word out!

With the help from my Mom (she paid for it) I created my first advertisment.  I am trying to get the word out that Baby Signing Time has come to Tulare County!  This is what it looks like in color!  The advertisment will actually run in black and white.  Thanks Mom ~
