21:14:55 WeeHands hi there! how are things Terrie?
21:15:17 triplethreat@rogers.com Good, thanks and you?
21:16:07 triplethreat@rogers.com Contacted Echo and am working on finishing the application process.
21:16:08 WeeHands good, a little chaotic - experienced our first JK christmas concert tonight, so my household is a little off schedule!
21:16:14 WeeHands that's great!
21:16:35 triplethreat@rogers.com OH, first concert!! Did you cry? I'm sure I'd cry.
21:17:17 WeeHands i was very proud :D he held up his christmas tree so beautifully!
21:17:34 triplethreat@rogers.com So cute!!! Wow, i can't wait for stuff like that.
21:17:43 triplethreat@rogers.com It just warms your heart.
21:17:55 WeeHands it's so fun!
21:18:12 triplethreat@rogers.com Was he excited?
21:18:25 WeeHands one of the classes, according to my husband signed and sang away in the manger" but I was out in the hall chasing my 2 year old"
21:18:47 WeeHands he was very nonchalant (sp?) about the whole thing - playing it cool!
21:19:00 triplethreat@rogers.com Neat, yeah on my girls fav show hi5 they had a signing song today.
21:19:08 triplethreat@rogers.com it's everywhere
21:19:20 WeeHands no way! i love hi5! I missed it!
21:19:36 triplethreat@rogers.com me too!! I kind of have a crush on Shawn there, he's a cutie
21:20:14 WeeHands some of the moms in my signing tots" class are teachers and we did a lot of carols, so i know that at least 3 classes in Durham region did "rudolph" or "frosty in sign for their concert - i'm so proud!"
21:20:34 triplethreat@rogers.com i'd love to learn some of that.
21:20:53 triplethreat@rogers.com I found a website with signing stories and songs but it's too fast for me.
21:21:06 triplethreat@rogers.com I can't keep up with my own translation
21:21:14 triplethreat@rogers.com let alone learn the song
21:21:21 WeeHands we have a signing tots" class and a "signing babies" class, and for the holidays we have a "signing for the holidays" class!"
21:21:29 WeeHands what's the website?
21:21:54 triplethreat@rogers.com I can't think of it. I'll have to backtrack and email you
21:22:13 WeeHands cool!
21:22:52 triplethreat@rogers.com Yeah, I'm looking on my favorites listing and I don't recognize half the stuff, I'll have to look'
21:23:31 WeeHands last year I came across a site that had silent night" from a school somewhere in the states"
21:24:55 triplethreat@rogers.com that would be beautiful. It reminds me how I got interested in signing. There was this movie and in it the people were doing the glass menagerie and there were sign interpreters for every character. It was beautiful, wish I could remember the name ofit
21:25:25 triplethreat@rogers.com Anyway that's what piqued my interest.
21:25:49 triplethreat@rogers.com There is a video/dvd compilation of holiday songs and signs on ebay
21:25:56 triplethreat@rogers.com it's expensive
21:26:11 triplethreat@rogers.com from a christian site-got some interesting stuff
21:27:16 triplethreat@rogers.com Can't find it-it's making me mad!!! Have you heard of lilly'sworld. She has several signing videos. Might buy them.
21:29:14 WeeHands no, i haven't heard of lilly's world?
21:29:19 triplethreat@rogers.com Oh, I got kicked off. Are you still there?
21:29:33 triplethreat@rogers.com OH, there you are.
21:29:54 triplethreat@rogers.com There are so many videos and sites, it's overwhelming to research all of them
21:30:23 WeeHands still here!
21:30:43 triplethreat@rogers.com I found a cool british or was it australian? Anyways I couldn't understand a word of the translation. Sure made me laugh though
21:31:09 WeeHands http://www.cvc.org/christmas/index.htm
21:31:19 triplethreat@rogers.com what's that?
21:31:30 WeeHands lots of christmas signing stuff on this page - takes a while to load though!
21:32:09 triplethreat@rogers.com thanks, that's very cool. yesterday on the st chat a woman told me how she downloaded signing font to use on her computer
21:32:34 triplethreat@rogers.com deann gave me the info but I don't know what to do with it
21:33:20 triplethreat@rogers.com It's the alphabet in different sizes and stuff but this woman makes tshirts using a print program and this font
21:33:36 triplethreat@rogers.com Oh, baby, be right back
21:33:41 WeeHands I'm just looking at the above site - I can't believe how many signed carol's they have in video!
21:33:53 triplethreat@rogers.com i'll have to check that out later.
21:34:15 triplethreat@rogers.com are they really hard to follow
21:34:44 WeeHands i'm just opening one now
21:35:40 triplethreat@rogers.com and....
21:36:28 WeeHands wow!
21:36:47 triplethreat@rogers.com Well don't tease me!? Are they great?
21:36:49 WeeHands they are really good - more signs in the jingle bells song then I taught my class!
21:37:02 triplethreat@rogers.com Are there translations?
21:37:34 WeeHands reallly slows down my computer though!
21:37:49 WeeHands they are signing each word and singing each word
21:37:57 triplethreat@rogers.com wow
21:38:24 triplethreat@rogers.com if you want to go and play on this site, it's okay-I should be studying
21:38:37 WeeHands i just watched jingle bells - so it looks like ASL vocabulary in English word order from what I saw.
21:38:58 triplethreat@rogers.com That's what I've been noticing with singing and signing
21:39:30 triplethreat@rogers.com Do you do only ASL phrasing in your classes
21:39:59 WeeHands we use ASL vocabulary. we touch on phrasing during some of the songs
21:40:23 triplethreat@rogers.com How different is ASL vocabulary to anything else
21:40:46 WeeHands words in ASL, but we don't really get into grammar with babies class
21:41:14 triplethreat@rogers.com Right. Cool, cause I get confused with phrasing still
21:41:44 triplethreat@rogers.com i just keep resorting to signing as I speak and how I speak
21:41:59 triplethreat@rogers.com it's a hard habit to break
21:42:13 triplethreat@rogers.com gotta feed a baby, be right back
21:42:35 triplethreat@rogers.com maybe not
21:43:10 triplethreat@rogers.com They're teething or something and won't sleep. They're not napping, I've been up every hour through the night for the past three nights.
21:44:05 triplethreat@rogers.com Hey, would you suggest any books(just got an email from you-how do you do all this at once?)
21:44:11 triplethreat@rogers.com for learning ASL
21:44:20 WeeHands hee hee!
21:44:30 triplethreat@rogers.com What did you send me.
21:44:56 WeeHands oh, just the link again - sent it to our instructors and instructors-to-be
21:45:09 triplethreat@rogers.com thanks
21:47:52 triplethreat@rogers.com okay i'm back
21:48:10 WeeHands terrie, i'm going to have to go now - my little one is up! it's been a crazy night!
21:48:20 triplethreat@rogers.com I understand, have a good one.
