Katherine has learned to say "change!"Her hand sign isn't exactly the same as mine, but it's close enough that we both know what she means. I am enormously excited about this success, and suddenly want to teach her everything: Please. Thank you. More. Milk. Mommy. Daddy. Apple Crisp. And all those other signs you hear about.
The tricky part is, of course, that anything I teach her I must first master myself.
It's the story of my life.
Good job both of you!!! You tube is a great resources for learning BSL
ReplyDeleteI love this one http://www.youtube.com/user/SmartHandsCA the instructions are easy and clear.
Sarah knows lots of signs about food, I guess that is what is her interest (est, cereal, bread, apple, milk, water, banana etc...)Funny things she could care less if she was change or not so that is not a sign that she have mastered yet LOL
How old is Katherine now, she look sooo grown up! Miss you 2 a lots

You might find that she uses signs one at a time...she might drop this one when she learns the next one. At least that's what Seth did...he had a "change" stage, a "more" stage, and an "all done" stage, among others. But then, she's a girl, girls are supposed to be able to multitask.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Renee! Every site I went to that looked promising wanted me to buy their book/movie/flashcards, etc!
ReplyDeleteNelleke, she just learned please (and thinks it means "pick me up," but when I don't respond to her sign, she tries her other signs for me. Mostly "change." It's like she's trying to get through to me, but I'm being so dense...
