Kai Signing 1-10

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.
