During this time of familial incubation and craze Katelynn and I have been having a day of laughing, playing, signing, and singing with Rachel Coleman. Her muse and daughter – Leah along with playmate Alex help to entertain while participating in a captivating educational program on ASL (American Sign Language).
The tunes are catchy and flavorful. So binging on them is cool for both parties. If I have to be honest Katelynn was more excited in the music than with the actual sign configurations. Me, I was just enjoying watching my daughter displaying her carefree spirit. Because dancing is fun, work – well its work. Every parent knows that a day of “happy kid” is a great day.
Many special parents see only the challenging parts of our children as we are maintaining adulthood. Seeing the non-fit throwing, happy, active child like typical parents is something to be cherished. I purchased the program Signing Time (https://www.signingtime.com/) about 4 years ago. Originally, this was played while Katelynn was connected to her tube feed to help her sit still and limit the chances of her pulling out her mic-key button or disconnect the tubing and feeding the floor – AGAIN. Now its for our Mommy Daughter happy educational times.
