“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”

Marisa has been her usual, amazing best friend... she is my advocate. After speaking my frustrations and concerns to her, she realized our lack of communication with Isabella is very challenging and difficult. Sign language can be a way to help minimize these frustrations. We thought this blog can be used to keep everyone in touch with Isabella's growth and allow you to participate in learning how to understand her means of communication. Marisa came up with the beautiful title... Sign of Love. We are excited to do this together as a family. Isabella's face lights up when we teach her a new sign and I know it will mean the world to her when she sees those she loves signing back. Thank you for your willingness to help her grow!
Here are some signs that Isabella uses frequently. I copied these signs from here (you can click on the picture to enlarge it). Nice website!
These signs she is familiar with, but we are trying to perfect the consistency.
For those old folks like me, you can click on the pictures to get a clearer and larger view of the signs.
