Comedy Night at Coogans recommendation
Hello all,

I really feel I must tell you I have been twice now to Comedy Night at Coogan's (169th and Broadway) Thursdays 8:30pm-10pm and it is in fact funny. And I don't think I am laughing so hard just because I never get out and 1 drink (you have to spend $10, but there's no cover and the watermelon martinis are so pretty!) really is a lot for me or because there are only 6 people in the audience so I feel like I have to laugh. I really do think the comics are funny. And I am afraid if none of you ever show up they will stop doing it and then I'll have to go back to date night at Healthy Habits--which is just not as funny.

Hope everyone is getting a lot of laughs without having to hire a babysitter but I firmly believe all couples should have date night and it should include comedy!

Warm regards,

Laurie

P.S. The food is quite good at Coogan's I have sampled everything from ribs and steaks to healthy salads.

Neighborhood BabyToddler Sign Language Classes
Hi all,

My son and I took a semester of baby sign language (through music) classes last fall, which were great fun. Signing greatly improved my son's early (and ongoing) comprehension and communication skills -along with reducing much frustration and facilitating sweet moments of connection and bonding. Many other neighborhood moms and babies joined in some baby sign language workshops that we held up here last winter. Most of these babies, who are now around 18 months, still use many signs to communicate - along with many words.

Currently, there is a woman from the sign language school (Baby Fingers) who lives nearby and is interested in putting together an ongoing class up here if there is interest.

So do check out their website if this interests you. www.mybabyfingers.com . If you have questions or would like to participate you can contact Lora at lora@mybabyfingers.com. She is the director of the school.
