Shut up and sign!!!! - Page 2

I saw a video tape of a Coda mom with her little 10 month old
hearing baby. That baby knew that she could listen to her moms
voice and she knew also that to get Grandmas attention she had
to nudge Grandma with her head while Grandma was holding her.
At 10 months she knew she couldn't coo and gurgle to get Grandmas
attention. It was amazing!

Kids are amazing with the things they know and do. My other baby (19 months old) will vocalize to get her father's attention but wait until I look at her before she starts to say/sign something to me...she knows.

Yea, that's interesting and I agree that kids are amazing!

My 2 year old son will use spoken language without signing with my hubby and use sign language without his voice with me. He is already able to switch but I wonder why he wont use both at the same time...it is interesting.

Really? And he's only 2 years old. Smart little Cookie, huh?! I'm curious...when he's talking to your husband (without signing) does it bother you that you are missing out on his words/conversation?

See that's my secret (I guess not so secret anymore now I'm practically announcing it to the world) fear - my daughters will just prefer to talk to their father than to me because it is much easier.

Maybe I'm worrying too much...I've missed out so much on my own family growing up that I'm so determined not to be shut out from my own children. I guess this is how hearing parents may feel about their deaf children when they feel they aren't learning signing fast enough or good enough???

If it's ASL that's being used, I don't see how anyone can sign, using ASL and simultaneously speak in English.

Anyway, cute.....
