Today I am going to my oldest daughters graduation.  She is receiving her BA in Early Child Development with a minor in Deaf Studies.  She is also graduating with honors.   :)

I am very proud of her as she has done this pretty much on her own. :) :)

Very Proud Mama...

And so you should be young lady.

Warmest congratulations, to you and to your daughter! You go, girl!  :D

Congratulations and best wishes to your daughter.

Thanks for all the congratulations and best wishes for my kid.  She figures to take a semester off and then go back for her Masters.

She is currently a preschool teacher at a Christian School.  She loves the little ones.... :)

What a great major! Congratulations...

Thanks Bert....  She also does sign language which a few of the parents have asked her to use with their kids.  Very cool... :)

My SIL uses sign alot.  She also teaches sign language in school when ask.  She is always signing when she talks, hoping other would like to learn.  She also teaches a 1hr class every Sunday.  All this for free.

That is really cool and impressive.   8) 8)

Originally my daughter was going to become an interpreter and work with children.  Unfortunately due to some physical limitations she cannot sign for long periods of time.  So now she works with children and signs a little. :)

Nice ST!  That is just dern good parenting...


On sign language, this is the only phrase I learned...

Yes but with full sign language you would learn how to do it with finesse.  ;D

Finesse is scarcely the intent of the International Symbol of Good Will. (At least it wasn't Greek: they use the whole arm!)

I'm surprised that graduating classes don't give that back to the boring graduation-speakers who stood between them and their diplomas.

Congrats congrats congrats!!!!! that is to cool.....

With full sign language, you'll learn to do it with your left hand -- at the same time!   :P :P :P
