Scooting on a lovely Sunday

Two thing happened today that made me well up with pride. Mary 's physical development has been delayed by her Glycogen Storage Disease Type IX. Totally unrelated to deafness but affects her gross motor skills. Anyway yesterday she scooted by herself for the first time. And we had a conversation in sign about the scooter and scooting and it falling over. Mary was having a deaf day and refused to wear her ears all day. She was keen to copy my signs.

Check out the video... There is only a little sound on this which Mary makes - her "Eee" no other sound.

The sign conversation went something like this (In BSL)

Me: "Want to scoot?"

Mary: "Scooting yes"

At end of scoot Mary would try and turn it around and it would fall over. She would coever her mouth in a "oops" fashion. Later on when it stopped falling over she pushed it over and went oops. I told her in sign that no she shouldn't do that. She seemed to understand.
