Updating and Video of Lily's ASL Monday, August 23, 2010

Things are going well here. It saddens me that I don't write here very often anymore. I just don't have the time. I am in my last term of school and getting my associates in December. Finally! It's been hard, long, and stressful, but it's a goal that I have almost completed. I still have to go through my program but I can't do that until I have enough "points." I hope that I do so that I can start school this coming summer. But to be honest I think i am a few short. So I will just keep on keeping on.

Lily's birthday is about a month and a half away. I am very excited about it. Even though her father has never met her and there are still no plans for him to, I have to admit he has been there for both her and I finicially. He bought her a birthday present and I will post pictures of it when she gets it. So you will just have to wait. It's very cool.

I am putting a link for a video of Lily's ASL progress. She has learned a lot of signs since the video and I am going to purchase the "Signing Times" videos for her. She watched a clip on Youtube and learned the sign "Smart" by just watching it once. I am a little concerned about the accents and the wrong palm orientations that I see on the videos, but a lot of the signs are good and I think will be a very good learning aid for her.

I have to update my "bucket list" on my front page. I want to add some and maybe take some down. I am getting older and goals change and in come cases get accomplished. :)

I think that's all for now.

RYC~ Yeah it sucked! That's awesome that you are teaching her to sign. There was a small possiblilty that my newphew was going to be deaf or partial deaf, so I was all excited to learn. He has since passed away, but I still want to learn, it's a nice thing to have. That is great that he helps out financially even though he hasn't seen her, there are a lot of people who dont. Thanks for the note [blubutterfli]
