My son is AMAZING. He surprises me almost every day. Yes, we butt heads "often", but I feel in my heart he is going to be a smart KID once he gets older. Learning a few signs here and there is a lot for a child to do, especially when he or she is trying to learn basic stuff to start school. For the past few days, I've been working with Kai on learning 1-10 in ASL. Mimi sees me do it almost everyday, but it's something I do NOT expect her to learn any time soon and I am not working on it with her. If we listen to one of the Signing Time songs that goes over 1-10, yes I show her the signs, but I am not sitting there adjusting her fingers to the numbers. However, Kai on the other hand, wants to learn. I was signing the numbers to Mimi the other day and I saw out the corner of my eye him moving his fingers around trying to learn. So, I moved towards him and talked him through it. It really means a lot to me to know that he wants to learn and he remembers a lot of signs I would think he would forget, since he doesn't do them as often as I do. So, I just wanted to share with you guys Kai signing 1-10. Yes, there are some errors, but hey, he's 4 and it's not the same as how he will be learning it in school.
ENJOY!!
If you notice, when doing numbers, 1-5 palm is facing you, but 6-9, the palm of your hand is facing out.
