Last Saturday, Pookie and I went to a Sign Language Chat.  We joined a Meetup.com group and attended our first one.  The group is made up of a former ASL sign language interpreter and a bunch of eager amateurs.   While sometimes there might be enough people at the meetings to hold entire conversations in sign, at this meeting it was just Pookie, me and one other lady asking the leader how to say certain things.  It was fun.  Pookie likes sign language; he has a few DVDs of baby signs.  We like that it give him one more way to communicate and one more way to be reminded that messages/requests/statements are important.  Sometimes its like he just does not think to communicate.  We have been practicing at home and look forward to our next meeting.  We are doing a pretty good job of remembering our signs.
