Just the other day, the boys had a friend come over to play. Before the friend arrived, his mom sent me a text saying that her son was bringing his Batman costume. I told Travis, "Your friend will be wearing his Batman costume when he comes over." Travis' face lit up, eyes lifted, and mouth opened wide. Before I could finish signing, "Why not you go upstairs to get your Iron Man costume?" he was signing, "Yes, yes!" and making his way up the stairs. Moments later, he came back to tell me he couldn't find his suit. I directed him to look in my bathroom in the hamper. He did and it wasn't there either. Finally, I told him to hold on while I sent a message asking his dad if he knew the costume's whereabouts. He did and Travis put on his alter ego. I couldn't help but make a mental note of how that conversation was such a big deal. We were discussing something happening in the future: friend will arrive soon. Telling Travis...
I LOVE this! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! I'm getting better at remembering to film them. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love how excited they are about all the forms of transportation :)
ReplyDeleteSaw your video on youtube....it's making the rounds on FB! Precious toddlers you have there! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't see any other way to contact but I wanted to say that I also adopted my Daniel from China in 2002- he is 11 years old profoundly deaf and language delayed . Not sure if your tots are old enough for Skype yet but Daniel would love to "meet" other kids from China who share his language! You can contact me at Crozetmom@gmail.com!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great!!
DeleteWhere did you find the boys? We are a deaf family with two hearing children and we're considering adopting because I'm adopted myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is way too cute! I got involved in ASL about 2 years ago and love it! I have been teaching it to my niece and nephew and it is amazing how quick they pick up. Of course they use more of signs like "whatever, diarrhea, and cool”. My sister in law is not so pleased that I taught them “whatever” because they will say it and sign to her. :)
