Everyday Tori seems more and more aware of her surroundings. It seems her environment is getting bigger and bigger in her eyes. Lately when we are at the park I see her looking up into the sky and pointing out the birds and airplanes. So, I took the opportunity to introduce the sign for AIRPLANE. She loved being able to talk about airplanes and every time she sees or hears one now she gets excited and makes the “OHH!!” face and signs AIRPLANE. If she hears an airplane from inside she freezes, makes the face and signs it. Sometimes she’s not sure if she hears an airplane or a train which makes for a very cute, inquisitive face looking at me and signing AIRPLANE as a question. It’s priceless every time and a very big step toward ASL language acquisition.
