I'm not a mom (yet!) but I did want to pass along something:
I volunteer in a special education/early intervention preschool class and they use regular ASL signs for things, i.e. cookie, drink, sit, stand, please, thank you, etc. When one of the kids is doing something they aren't supposed to be doing, all we have to do is say the child's name once and sign what we want them to do instead of interrupting the teacher's sentence to talk to the child. I haven't seen baby signs, but if they are different than ASL signs, the child might have problems understanding ASL in the future if their teacher(s) decide to use it in the classroom. Just something to think about...
Good luck either way. I love the idea of teaching children sign language.
