I'm sure Her Majesty will have no problems letting us know how she feels about the different sights, sounds, smells and people in her new home.Awohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341266905943947073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-5400225413927094902009-08-29T14:45:27.490-06:002009-08-29T14:45:27.490-06:00Apryl, we will DEFINITELY be using ASL with Kendi!...Apryl, we will DEFINITELY be using ASL with Kendi! It helped so much with Bright (who wasn't speaking at all yet when he came home). Kendi hears English and Ga (a Ghanaian language) all of the time, and understands both. I'm just not sure to what extent she understands both, but am assuming she understands Ga better. Oh--one more week! Can't wait!A.

My best advice is to use any sign language you know along with the English as you teach her. The visual aspect ASL provided made langauge aquisition SO much easier in our house. We had full sentences in one month and he was fully able to communicate with us in just 2 to 3 months. But signing - well he was able to sign back his first night! Praying for all of you and so excited for you!Kimchi Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312496271589671241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-10098566700780963662009-08-28T08:35:10.673-06:002009-08-28T08:35:10.673-06:00I that is so special that she is so excited about ...I that is so special that she is so excited about the trip to get her little sister.

No good food, people who don't speak the language, and now, the weather is getting weirdly COLD (at least it is in our northern neck of the woods)! It's a hard life for the resident diva to adjust to. We're getting there, and Kendi will too.FullPlateMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293687772824676499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-22927200524982502802009-08-27T22:35:05.047-06:002009-08-27T22:35:05.047-06:00I am so excited for you and the beginning of your...I am so excited for you and the beginning of yourBig sister little sister adventures at Chidlren's Placee!
