Yesterday morning we were dropping Mike off at his “school” when we ran in to Harper’s mom. Apparently, Mike has been teaching Harper some sign language!
Remember back a few months ago, we took an infant sign language class. It turned out to be really good – especially with how to teach sign language to an infant. We’ve been working with Mike – especially with the signs that are “most useful” (like hungry, eat, more, please, mom, and dad – and a few “non-standard” ones like “go vols”!). And he’s getting pretty good at them too!
So good, in fact, that when he is getting fed at “school” (he eats with Harper, of course), he’s been showing Harper things like hungry, eat, and more. It turns out that Mike must be a pretty good teacher because (believe it or not), she has started using them! Just imagine to 11 month old babies “goo goo” and “gaa gaa” back and forth while signing “more please hungry”. How cute is that!It’s too bad the teachers aren’t allowed to take pictures of the kids (it’s horrible that we live in a world where something like that is considered a “security risk”) – I would LOVE to see it in action
So yesterday morning, we gave harper’s mom the quick rundown – “this is eat – this is hungry – this is more – this is please…”. Oh, and if she raises her hands over her head giving the “touchdown” signal – that’s “go Vols”!!!!
