first ASL sentence |
[posted by bkmarcus] |
Before tonight, all of Benjamin's verbal communications were in single words; all of his ASL communications were one sign at a time.
Here is Benjamin's first ASL "sentence":
I'd been singing to him at the end of dinner. He absolutely beamed during "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." When I was done, he asked for more. I didn't even notice that he was combining signs.
Nathalie turned to me and asked, "Did he just sign 'more music'?"
Benjamin looked at both of us and then did it again:
After we laughed and praised him, we sang him some more songs.
