Thank you so much for posting a comment ...Hi, Rees! Thank you so much for posting a comment on my blog. :) It was very nice to meet you, too. I'm sorry, but I didn't identify which lady I said "hi" to yesterday was your wife. Hope I get to meet her soon! Yes, I agree. Sign language is a beautiful language. I wish I didn't have a left hand that is not a normal left hand, just so that I could use sign language to its fullest! But I have heard that there are some people who sign with just one hand. (!) It really is a great language. I know what you mean about baseball being a sport for "boys." If only this was not so, because I bet Jennifer is not the only girl who is interested in this sport! I know, we have softball, but it's just not the same. There shouldn't be a "boy sport" and "girl sport." Just a "sport"! Anyway, I checked out the site for the school. Maybe we can visit sometime.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32006215.post-87188077152070345432010-05-20T18:23:10.211-07:002010-05-20T18:23:10.211-07:00Hey Dawn!

Not that I knew any deaf friends, or even had kids yet that I wanted to introduce to sign language, but I just thought it would be a good thing. Since having children we taught basics to our kids when they were babies. We often sign the songs we sing at our preschool Dancing Sol. My wife is much better as signing, though not fluent by any means. It's just so beautiful to speak with hands, and to see people speaking with hands. Several years ago we went to an evening of deaf poetry. Even though I couldn't understand a quarter of the words, it was really great. Some of the poets allowed their work to be translated through headphones, but others didn't, so I got to just get what I could get. It was so fun.<br /><br />Really glad you opted for baseball for Jennifer. Nothing against softball, but I love seeing girls playing sports that are often traditionally 'boy' sports. If I had a girl and she wanted to play baseball, we'd definitely be taking her.<br /><br />It was great to meet you Dawn. My wife will be at practice tonight. I'll tell her to say "Hi!"reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769822904752241333noreply@blogger.com
