"Sign Language"
When Gerald Jay was six months old he was saying "hi"and "blue". We were all excited that he had scored high on his social skills. We thought that he will be talking sooner than we expected too. However, every time he had surgery done he always go back to zero most specially when he had a stroke on his left side of his blood. Not that it will affect his memory, but he forgets every words that he was saying before. This time after his fontan procedure last February, he was not able to say words more than "mama" which means "more" for him. Temper tantrum his only way to communicate with us. Then I realized that his way of communicating with us is not gonna work, therefore; I encourage everyone of his therapist to teach him basic sign language. I ordered three volumes of sign language DVD (signingtime) through Amazon.com. Today, those DVD's arrived and I immediately watch it with Gerald. Later, this afternoon I heard him singing and trying to do some signing with his fingers. I was really amazed. Not only him will learn the sign language but I too. I think it is worth it.
