I dropped into the local Deaf Centre today and picked up this disc on basic sign language for babies. Thought with the language barrier and the fact Ava's speech will be delayed due to the cleft it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn a few simple signs for communication. Basic signs for hungry, thirsty, mommy, pee, poop, apple, banana, toast, sleep, cookie, play etc. are covered. I'll learn as many as I can before I travel and when I speak to Ava I'll try and also sign the same work. Some say their kids were using a few simple signs by the time they returned from China!!....Couldn't hurt to try!
