Dear Dexter My name is Fred and I am 18 months old. I have been attending Susan's baby signing class in Rawtenstall since I was 5 months old. Mummy thought that I was never going to sign, but I signed lights off just before Christmas and now mummy cant keep up with all my signs. I was just storing all the signing information until now. I am also using the words with my signs and my family & friends are amazed how clear they are. This is a picture of me signing 'please' because I want to watch Roary the Racing Car!!. Thank you Susan & Dexter for teaching me & mummy to sign and for making the classes such fun. Love Fred XX

Dear Dexter My name is Lydia and I am 1 years and 3 months old. I really like baby signing with Jo and you although I am not very good yet. I like the songs and singing with Jo and you. Happy Christmas Lydia

Dear Dexter, Here's the picture of me with Dexter at Jo's class earlier this year. We really enjoy going along, learning new signs, singing the songs and seeing all our friends - including Dexter! Jo says she's looking forward to seeing me sign very soon (so is Mummy). Love from Emily Rudland

Dear Dexter, James, Amelia and George love signing with you and Helen on a Wednesday morning. Here is their photo with you after today's class. I'm sure that we'll all be using the 'nappy time' signs lots this week!

This is a picture of Dylan Whiteley and Abigail Thompson and their Grandmas from the Whalley class, with myself and Dexter. Dexter has just presented them with certificates for completing a full year of baby signing. Well done to them both!

My name is Charlotte and I am 17 months old. I go to Whalley class every week to see Helen and Dexter. I don't like to sign in class because I am shy but I watch what everyone else does and sign to my mummy when I get home, hee....hee.....!. Here I am in my highchair signing 'down'. My favourite signs are Milk, Finished, Home, Pig, Cow, Sheep, Bird, Duck, Hot and Teddy Bear. Lots of love and big hugs for Helen and Dexter, Charlotte

This is my gorgeous baby boy Archie with Dexter at baby signing class in calne with Jo. Archie absolutely LOVES seeing dexter each week!!! Well done Archie!

This is my 19 month old daughter Abigail who has been attending Talk First classes with her Nana in Whalley, Lancashire since she was 8 months. She loves seeing Dexter and joining in all the fun and is doing lots of signs now as well as saying words. It has really helped her to communicate with us as we know exactly what she means when she signs to us. This is her at breakfast asking for 'more' Weetabix! Thanks to Helen for being a great teacher! Tracy and Abi

Dexter lives on in Brisbane, Australia! I just thought you might like to see these images of Flo at our Spring Festival on Saturday. After the Parade, we went to the funfair. Amongst all the rides & games, there was an animal petting/feeding area. Flo & Sam were enthralled with the kids & lambs. Sam always picks up on 'Goat' & he says it in a Lancashire accent - following your exploits at TalkFirst. So the two of them were following the goats around making the sign! A Great Big Thank You to Kate, Flo and Sam for sending their picture to head office, keep up the good work signing, lots of love from Dexter!

Hello, here's a photo of Jasmine with Dexter at the baby signing class in Calne with Jo! We've really enjoyed it! Thank you Daniela and Jasmine
