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":

more ... music ...

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:

more music.

After we laughed and praised him, we sang him some more songs.
