well today is monday and i just finished taking the quiz for the online class. Right now things are pretty quiet here because david and melissa are at a young life meeting. I am updating the blog and sam and laura are watching ice age 1. I know it is an older movie but i can't help but laugh at it. Some of the things they say are too funny.
Anyhow, i didn't make it to the cochlear workshop. I have been tirelessly dealing with sinus and ear problems. I am doing better but have to see an ent on my birthday of all days. From what i have heard about the workshop i think it is good that i didn't go because i may have ended up hitting someone.
Saturday i was in bed all day and trying to relax when sam and laura wanted to watch the videos from signing time. They love them, well i put one in and sam started yelling no!!!!!!! He was very persistent and i thought laura was going to jump on him to keep him quiet when i finally figured out what he wanted. He has watched me review Rubys videos from vocabulary and wanted to watch them. So i dragged myself out of my warm comfy bed to sit at the desk and let him watch them. He and laura repeated every sign she did. IT was't always perfect but it was fun to see them try them.
Then when he got tired of them i found some youtube fingerspelling videos on line and there was one with a baby in it and he loved it although he kept saying she was wrong. Since we came to the deaf games he has litterally blossomed in using sign. I can't get him to usually move from one sign to another very easily but since last wed. he has been running around the house asking for sign . I think it's great!! Right now, laura wants to know if she is better than him and if we have competition in class to see who is better than the other person. I just tell her no, and that we try to help each other, and that she should try to help him as well since she is older than he is.
She said she'll think about it but i depends on how many of his toys he shares! LOL
I have been fingerspelling everything at home so that i can get familiar with it more and trying to get ( parents and kids) to fingerspell back so i will get better at reading it as well. Needless to say david just turns around and walks away. I guess 15 yr old boys are above the helping mom thing. Melissa however, says mom will you just stop and sign because it takes you way to long to figure out what i am asking you. Usually she is very patient with me, but i guess her limit of being asked to repeat herself is 25. LOL
any how, better get back to studying.

P.S. new sites i found asl.ms , fingerspelling practices ( takes you to youtube) they are pretty cool and i will definately keep visiting them.

I guess Ruby's voc videos are hit with the kids. Khyree sat with me one day while I was practicing and he did the signs as well. I told him what the signs meant as we signed them. I agree that it was very cute to watch my son do the signs and to see him do the signs he's learned in school. I think it's great that Sam is becoming more invovled with wanting to learn signs.
