papa needs a new pair of shoes |
[posted by bkmarcus] |
We were outside chatting with Miss Angel, who says she might try to get Benjamin to "tutor" the new baby in her daycare in American Sign Language. We were telling her that the one sign Benjamin has forgotten is "Papa" — when he started doing the sign again, right there.
Willing to push my luck, I asked him if he knew the sign for "shoes" (which I've been working on with him) and yes, he did the sign for shoes tonight for the first time. Ask him what the sign means and he'll say chaussures; ask him how to say shoes (or chaussures) and he'll do the sign.
He must be entering a receptive phase for new signs.
His new spoken word is bateau (boat), so maybe we'll teach him the sign for that. Or for car. Or maybe for airplane.
