Sign Language Delay

Hi all, We have been using three simple signs with our now 10-month-old since she was 6 months. We use the signs for milk, eat and more. She does not yet respond with her own signs and most of the time it does not seem to register that we communicating at all. I had read that many kids begin signing 7-9 months. Anyone else have a late starter like this?

Family with Autistic Child

A family at my children's school suffered a fire over the weekend that destroyed their home.

Need Recommendations for Best Toy Organization System!

I am going to go out and buy something to organize the piles of toys we have accumulated in our house over the last 4 years - after a good "purge" of course. The Christmas influx has now completely overloaded the plastic bins we already have to hold our 50 million match box cars, art supplies, etc. so I am looking for something that can maybe go vertical. I have seen some systems at Costco and Ikea that look reasonable, but not sure which is best. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
