oh, boy, you are made of win.

Tonight before bathtime, child signs "time" "to" and then takes his pullup off. Independent of us doing this ever.

(conclusion: child knows the meaning of these two signs and puts them in his OWN CONTEXT.)

Sometimes my kid is hilariously awesome. <3

someday he will put on high heels and take over the Entire World.


"world." "mine." "now." these signs, not hard. ohhh, I'm evil.

He so will. <3
Hmmm. We should teach him those signs somehow to creep out his speech therapist ... *bwahaha*

Actually, based on my *own* exp[eriences back when I was in junior high, I truly believe that if we had a way to get inside the kidling's head, we'd find that he *has* a fully functional language.

It's just that he's having trouble learning how to translate that language into something the rest of the world understands.

My experiences were getting hit over the head several times with the fact that I had clear, simple "words"/concepts in my head and it took lots of words (and occasionally hours or days of thinking) to translate them into English that would more or less convey the thought.

So I'm a strong proponent of the "internal language" model.

He tries to - sometimes he gets tangled up in it though. <3

YAAAAAY Seaners! AND the awesome parents, let's not forget. :)

Question: How do you sign "to"?

[identity profile] phinnia.livejournal.com 2008-06-03 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
'to' is touching both forefingers together. It's actually signed exact english. <3
