Hello! I just wanted to say you are not alone. I am teaching my deaf daughter ASL too and also feel overwhelmed sometimes. My daughter is only 5 months old so she can’t quite sign back to me yet but I have definitely started signing little things. My advice would be to just start trying with...

Sweet shirt! I added you on IG. Your baby is adorable.

Hello friends! Here is the chart we get at the audiologist for selecting colored earmolds. Interesting we went to a young hip audiologist at first and she offered up to theee color choices. Now we’re going to an older more rural audiologist and she said she thought babies could only get one...
