COMMUNICATION EXPLOSION

Not signing 'explosion' but speech and signing are being used more every day.

The first photo shows Alice signing 'All gone!' and she say 'All gooong' at the same time - sign, speech and meaning are very clear. She uses this to communicate when something is finished or when she's finished with something - until recently this just related to food and drink, but today she used it when we finished reading a book.

The second photo is Alice's version of 'rabbit' - not the conventional sign but it works! No sound to this one yet.

She gets so much delight when I understand what she means, so do I!
