Today Yaya learned how to spell her name…well fingerspell her name. Granted it is the same two letters repeated but I was impressed. I spelled it once for her and watched her mimic me. Then she pointed to herself. We did this a couple times more throughout the day, but nothing focused. When Eric got home I sat her on my lap and told Eric to watch us. I played around with her some then I fingerspelled her name to her and the moment I did that she grinned and pointed to herself and said “Yaya!” Then she fingerspelled it herself. I’M SO PROUD!
She also knows about 2/3 of the fingerspelled alphabet and can do her numbers 1-10 in sign language too. I’m just sayin’…
Angie, that is awesome!
