Hi all, tricia here! |
|
20:11:24 |
WeeHands |
great to see you! |
|
20:11:43 |
ourwiefamily |
okay ... had to get my kids set up w/ something so I could
chat |
|
20:12:26 |
WeeHands |
a signing time video? |
|
20:12:31 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
So I heard third-hand about a single,young moms who is
signing with her 3 naturally-conceived triplets!! |
|
20:14:28 |
WeeHands |
? where did you hear this? |
|
20:14:32 |
ourwiefamily |
Actually ... it's a sign video I found in my basement (no
idea where it came from?!) but it's really meant for parents
and it's very dry and boring. But because it's sign
language, there are three kids (6, 4, 2yo) watching as
though it is spun gold. |
|
20:14:35 |
ourwiefamily |
Easy to entertain |
|
20:15:24 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
hmmm ourwie - we'll see how long they last!! jk |
|
20:15:51 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Well, Sara the family I mentioned lives in North Bay
(ontario) that's my home town, as you recall. |
|
20:16:02 |
ourwiefamily |
I think I'll be getting rid of this video! :P |
|
20:16:51 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I good friend of mine who lives in NB, and is now a teacher,
yet still active in La Leche (yet her oldest is 19 yrs)
called me. |
|
20:17:09 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Her 19 yr old is volunteering to help this very busy mom
with her triplets |
|
20:17:28 |
WeeHands |
someone else with triplets - wow! (btw i don't have
triplets, one of our instructors does) |
|
20:17:32 |
ourwiefamily |
How old are the triplets, do you know? |
|
20:17:39 |
WeeHands |
ourwiefamily what is the video? |
|
20:17:52 |
ourwiefamily |
about that long ... my 6yo just said, I don't like this"
LOL" |
|
20:18:07 |
WeeHands |
tricia_sign_instrr that's so good to hear about the 19 year
old helping out - lovely! |
|
20:18:12 |
WeeHands |
:D |
|
20:18:26 |
ourwiefamily |
My 4yo already wandered off ... but my 2yo is watching w/
great interest still. |
|
20:18:46 |
WeeHands |
too funny! |
|
20:18:48 |
ourwiefamily |
It's called ... Special Signs by Grace Works Ministries |
|
20:18:58 |
ourwiefamily |
taught by Jennifer Lamp |
|
20:19:05 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
about 17 months . . . Michelle (the volunteer daughter)
noticed one of triplets purposefully doing a sign (Michelle
not knowing any ASL) figured out he was signing eat" (wanted
a snack while at the playground)" |
|
20:20:04 |
ourwiefamily |
It is very basic, just an adult showing a series of words in
ASL ... and now my 6yo is correcting her (she did cat WRONG
mom) |
|
20:20:21 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
When Michelle got all 3 back home she asked the mom if they
knew sign language and she said yes, she's been signing with
them. Apparantly the busy, breastfeeding (exclusively)
takes the Signing Time! videos out from the Ont.EArly Yrs
Ctr and lets them wa |
|
20:20:31 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
watch them while learning the signs herself!! |
|
20:20:54 |
ourwiefamily |
Sigh ... when I dug it out of the box, I was excited
thinking it was a kid video because it had a stuffed bunny
on the cover. I was saving it for tonight. But alas ... I
should have read more closely. LOL Now the 6yo turned it
off in disgust! |
|
20:21:05 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
lol |
|
20:21:36 |
ourwiefamily |
I'm now being scolded for saying I had something special for
them. Oops! |
|
20:22:42 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Last summer when I was in North Bay I donated Vol 1 to the
Early Year Centre. The literacy specialist then went on to
develop her own sign language classes for new moms. The
literacy specialist has run over 6 classes. She said she
learned all the signs fro |
|
20:23:08 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
from the Signing Time! videos that she got from me. (She had
ended up ordering 8 more videos in total....) |
|
20:23:17 |
ourwiefamily |
Well, it just makes us all the more grateful for ST, right?
I can't imagine a day w/o ST ... sometimes I would like a
day w/o ST LOL |
|
20:23:47 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
not surprised to hear that ourwie - I hear that from other
families!! |
|
20:24:54 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I have an 11-month old who has attended 8 classes with me
and mom just bought the first set. She doesn't but on #3
because her son gets very upset and starts crying... mainly
when the Silly Pizza Song comes on... Ever heard of that
with a child??? |
|
20:25:34 |
VJ |
sorry my boy's being a true brat |
|
20:26:02 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
hi vj. Where are you on the continent?? |
|
20:26:05 |
WeeHands |
No I haven't heard of a little one crying at the Pizza Song,
just new parents in my classes when they try to sign it at
Rachel's speed! |
|
20:26:27 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
lol |
|
20:27:21 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Sara, your first instructor who came on board with you - did
she end up taking formal ASL classes? |
|
20:28:12 |
ourwiefamily |
There! I listed the video on freecycle. Hopefully it will
be gone from my house soon! LOL |
|
20:28:42 |
VJ |
USA or at least I hope |
|
20:28:46 |
VJ |
but |
|
20:28:48 |
VJ |
AZ for now |
|
20:28:54 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
lol |
|
20:29:36 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
are you vonnie? . . . I'm confused *) |
|
20:29:43 |
VJ |
yes im Vonnie |
|
20:30:10 |
ourwiefamily |
phew ... now they finally settled on 101 Dalmations. Now
they can sit in there and sign dog, dog, dog hehehe |
|
20:30:22 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Great! We missed you last week. |
|
20:30:28 |
VJ |
mine is being difficult with rules and food |
|
20:30:33 |
WeeHands |
Yes, the first one did and so are 3 others. Now the people
who are applying all know more ASL than me (maybe?) - one
instructor is Deaf, the other had 2 years of an interpreting
program, counsellors from the Bob Rumball Centre for the
Deaf, etc. |
|
20:30:56 |
VJ |
but that librarian is teaching based on ST only? |
|
20:31:00 |
WeeHands |
ew, Cruella DeVille is scary! |
|
20:31:11 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Nothing wrong with that Sara - all the more credibility to
your business!! |
|
20:31:18 |
ourwiefamily |
hey scared. Another sign they can use during teh movie,
right? |
|
20:31:36 |
WeeHands |
:yikes: |
|
20:31:38 |
WeeHands |
scary! |
|
20:31:43 |
ourwiefamily |
So how much ASL would you require from your instructors? |
|
20:32:19 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Yes, vonnie, I was quite surprised to hear she has done
that!! The library is fluent in French as well, and I find
as a rule if someone has another language they can pick up
ASL pretty easily. |
|
20:32:28 |
WeeHands |
At least what we have here as level 101 - it depends on what
else they bring to the table |
|
20:32:43 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
that should say librarian (not library) above.. |
|
20:32:48 |
ourwiefamily |
My sister and I had a very in depth talk about sign language
the otehr day. She was just captivated by the ST dvds.
It's been a long time since she used it. |
|
20:32:57 |
WeeHands |
typos are aloud. |
|
20:33:06 |
WeeHands |
:) |

|
20:33:12 |
ourwiefamily |
She has forgotten some, but remembers a lot still ... she
didn't learn ASL last time though ... mostly SEE sign |
|
20:33:45 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
vonnie, your expertise is requested.... |
|
20:33:53 |
VJ |
yes but sara that bothers me |
|
20:33:57 |
ourwiefamily |
She contacted an interpreting place here in town to see if
they need anyone to interpret (she used to do that for our
deaf friend who was her boyfriend). She hoped to see if
they had ASL training t hrough th em |
|
20:34:03 |
VJ |
she does it for money does she sara? |
|
20:34:22 |
signingminionmaker |
Hello!!! |
|
20:34:35 |
ourwiefamily |
I was telling her I thought she should look into maybe doing
some sort of baby sign classes. I mean, getting certified
and dusting off this talent and converting over to ASL. |
|
20:34:36 |
WeeHands |
i'm not sure what you mean vonnie? |
|
20:34:37 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
hi terrie! am I right? *) |
|
20:34:50 |
signingminionmaker |
yup |
|
20:34:59 |
VJ |
ha tricia |
|
20:35:05 |
VJ |
what is it? |
|
20:35:14 |
VJ |
she TEACHES |
|
20:35:25 |
VJ |
by volunteering or being paid bec it just bothers me so much |
|
20:35:33 |
VJ |
someone would just watch DVDs then money out of it rather
than |
|
20:35:39 |
VJ |
finding a deaf person to teach the language or |
|
20:35:42 |
WeeHands |
re the woman who didn't learn ASL but SEE? |
|
20:35:47 |
VJ |
at least someone who has gone into depth to learn it |
|
20:36:03 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Terrie whew... you missed my story about another family with
triplets who sign.... in ONtario (North Bay) |
|
20:36:52 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I think vonnie means the librarian who taught ASL classes to
babies and parents only from ASL signs from Signing Time!.
Am I getting this right vonnie? |
|
20:37:00 |
signingminionmaker |
Hey, hook me up!! i've met another family on the ST chat
who had triplets the same day as me and lived in
California. I've lost contact though and wish i could find
them again. |
|
20:37:15 |
signingminionmaker |
I'd love to chat with them |
|
20:37:26 |
VJ |
yes tricia |
|
20:37:37 |
VJ |
it just bothers and kinda offends me |
|
20:37:46 |
VJ |
nice terrie!!! |
|
20:37:54 |
VJ |
fun to meet others who have triplets eh? |
|
20:38:11 |
WeeHands |

|
20:38:18 |
signingminionmaker |
It's awesome, I actually have met quite a few on ebay of all
places that I keep in contact with. |
|
20:38:47 |
tricia_sign_instrr |

she was happily married, planning ona child, got pregnant -
found out she was going to have quadruplets (naturally
conceived) & her husband scrammed!!!!! :( |

WeeHands |
:< |
|
20:39:22 |
signingminionmaker |
Oh my gosh!!! |

online as well. Has a two year old daughter and three 8
month olds |

VJ |
oh man |
|
20:39:57 |
WeeHands |
ah! |
|
20:40:02 |
VJ |
but sara? that librarian? |
|
20:40:05 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
vonnie - I agree with you. I wanted to tell that librarian
that it wasn't really right! I really wonder how correctly
she taught the signs or even if she did some reading on the
language of ASL before teaching!! |
|
20:40:12 |
VJ |
yeck |
|
20:40:15 |
VJ |
hard i bet |
|
20:40:25 |
VJ |

|
20:40:34 |
VJ |
where is that area |
|
20:40:34 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
vonnie- sara doesn't know the librarian - I do. |
|
20:40:41 |
VJ |
oh tricia lol |
|
20:40:47 |
VJ |
i got it messed up ok how do i contact her |
|
20:40:53 |
VJ |
i seriously want to have a talk with her |
|
20:41:02 |
VJ |
its like if ST actually has spanish speaking with signing |
|
20:41:08 |
VJ |
and i go and teach spanish based on that |
|
20:41:09 |
WeeHands |
sorry...i'm just trying to reread the posts regarding the
librarian! |
|
20:41:16 |
VJ |
lol sorry |
|
20:41:45 |
WeeHands |
or like me teaching italian classes with my italian! my
hubby would laugh so hard! |
|
20:42:35 |
WeeHands |
okay this is the literacy specialist in North Bay =
librarian (correct?) |
|
20:42:50 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Well, vonnie I will be meeting with the librarian in July -
maybe you can suggest what I say to her!! |
|
20:43:16 |
VJ |
tell her that a Deaf mother of a deaf son would love very
much to chat with her and if shes up to it |
|
20:43:24 |
WeeHands |
are there ASL classes in North Bay - I know you can't take
one in Sudbury |
|
20:43:27 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
yes, Sara (technically she's a literacy specialist) - but
librarian will do for this chat! |
|
20:43:28 |
VJ |
lol sara |
|
20:43:41 |
WeeHands |
no teachers for classes in Sudbury |
|
20:44:12 |
WeeHands |
i'm a little slow tonight! |
|
20:44:19 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I know she wouldn't chat" - I can never get her on the
phone, but I could email her and ask if she would be
responsive to an email from you." |
|
20:44:27 |
VJ |
yea |
|
20:45:07 |
VJ |
so what did you need my expertise as you called it with? |
|
20:45:08 |
VJ |
lol |
|
20:45:19 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I don't believe there are formal ASL classes in N.Bay size
is only 60,000 altho there is a college and small
university. French lang.instruction is big there |
|
20:45:26 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
oh yeah, vonnie |
|
20:45:58 |
VJ |
but i know PLENTY of deaf people in ONtario who would be
more than happy to teach |
|
20:46:17 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I found a reference for the word spicy" as in spicy food,
because you wouldn't want to sign "hot". But can you give me
your ASL version for signing "spicy"?" |
|
20:46:48 |
WeeHands |
It looks like the Canadian Hearing Society in North Bay may
have classes |
|
20:46:58 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
really vonnie? MOst must be in Toronto. The Deaf communities
are mostly in very big cities... |
|
20:47:28 |
VJ |

|
20:47:32 |
tricia_sign_instrr |

ourwiefamily |
My sister was out shopping the other day w/ her little

20:56:41 |
ourwiefamily |
They were so excited. So was my sis. They got to talk for
a few minutes but then my sister's kids went crazy and she
had to leave. She is now kicking herself because she didn't
get their names. :( They live over somewhere kind of near
her though so |
|
20:56:46 |
WeeHands |
I had an early years centre in Trenton call me - they are
hoping to start a support group for parents whose children
are Deaf or HoH. I'm going to tell them to contact the
school for the Deaf in Belleville |
|
20:56:50 |
ourwiefamily |
maybe they will run into each otehr again? |
|
20:57:13 |
WeeHands |
what a nice story ourwiefamily |
|
20:57:27 |

I know my kids would think anyone deaf was like a celebrity
at this point! It would be awesome to have some deaf
friends again. |

20:57:44 |
VJ |

|
20:57:52 |

i have this ASL dictionary I'm wondering about ... it's kind
of weird because I got it used and the previous owner
crossed out a bunch of words. |
|
21:04:14 |
signingminionmaker |
oops, justsignhere_guelph@hotmail.com |
|
21:04:20 |

I certainly could contact the mom with triplets to see if
she would like to correspond.Being a single MOM I'm sure
appreciate the companionship, not say the support! |
|
21:04:22 |
ourwiefamily |
I was wondering if the signs were wrong in it? |
|
21:04:30 |
ourwiefamily |
How would I find out if it is a good dictionary or not? |
|
21:05:13 |
ourwiefamily |
I don't want to learn signs incorrectly, yk? |
|
21:05:39 |
signingminionmaker |
that would be awesome!! |
|
21:06:15 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I'll work on getting her to contact you (it may take a few
weeks - be patient) |
|
21:07:13 |
VJ |

tricia_sign_instrr |
OH, yeah, to finish about the triplets mom...She was
originallly pregnant with 4. She lost one of her fetuses
during the pregnancy - told fleeing husband that there would
be only 3 babies instead of 4. He showed up for the birth
and a few days & now is.. |
|
21:08:10 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
gone for good! Her triplets are about 17 monhts old Terry. |
|
21:08:29 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
No vonnie, I am married with two kids. |
|
21:08:34 |
VJ |

21:08:43 |
WeeHands |
what a story |
|
21:08:46 |
ourwiefamily |
wow ... I can't understand leaving a spouse because of
triplets (or even quadruplets) |
|
21:09:01 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
no worries. I am an audiologist, who actually took the time
to learn ASL - not many of my colleagues bother. |
|
21:09:03 |
VJ |
where is she again? |
|
21:09:09 |
VJ |
yea |
|
21:09:17 |
VJ |
Jelani's audiologist knew signing |
|
21:09:29 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Who the mom with triplets? |
|
21:09:32 |
VJ |
yea |
|
21:09:33 |
signingminionmaker |
Parents of multiples actually have the highest divorce
rates. |
|
21:09:38 |
VJ |
invite her in this chat? |
|
21:09:48 |
signingminionmaker |
It's like 75-85% divorce. |
|
21:09:56 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
really !!!! :( |
|
21:10:07 |
WeeHands |
that's awful |
|
21:10:21 |

MOn with triplets lives in that notorious town, North Bay
(about 200 miles North or Toronto) |
|
21:10:28 |
ourwiefamily |
wow ... everyone I know w/ multiples is still married. I
know several w/ twins ... but then they are usually like
child number 7 and 8 or something in big familes, so maybe
that's why? |
|
21:10:52 |
VJ |
ah |
|
21:10:58 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
oh, yeah, good idea vonnie to invite her to chat. -wonder if
she could find the time... |
|
21:11:20 |
VJ |
single mom here thats why i asked |
|
21:11:24 |
ourwiefamily |
There is the single mom chat on Sun nights ... wonder if
she'd like that chat too (and this one too) |
|
21:11:40 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
sometimes it seems families who CHOOSE to have large
families are the happiest.. I notice that here in Calgary.. |
|
21:11:41 |
VJ |
i hardly see anyone there so i give up |
|
21:12:39 |

vonnie - when I trained in Michigan (in Audiology)
audiologists learning ASL seemed much more acceptable than
audiologists in Canada. |
|
21:12:50 |
VJ |
hey jenn! |
|
21:13:01 |
VJ |
i dont know |
|
21:13:06 |
ourwiefamily |
that's too bad, vonnie ... I was really bored one Sunday
night and thought about popping in and saying hi but I
figured they would all think I was very strange. :) But
hey ... my sis used to be a single mom and i remember what a
challenge that was |
|
21:13:10 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
Parts of Canada, namely Montreal (where there is a famous
oral" school) have frowned on signing." |
|
21:13:31 |
ourwiefamily |
so I could have at least said I cared. |
|
21:13:32 |
VJ |
wow |
|
21:13:37 |
VJ |
lol |
|
21:13:43 |
bumwrap |
hi |
|
21:13:50 |
VJ |
do you think it helps tricia to sign |
|
21:13:57 |
VJ |
bec you are only" testing their hearings?" |
|
21:14:07 |
ourwiefamily |
I don't understand frowning on signing. That's really too
bad. |
|
21:14:31 |
tricia_sign_instrr |
I thought that was wrong about 6 months after studying about
their program. When I used to see teachers putting cardbd
shield in front of Deaf kids to make them listen" I thought
that was very, very wrong. And I was just a student then." |
