YIKES!

oh my, my. It has been an aawfully long time since I posted pictures...
I'll see if I can get some up tonight...

I have a story to read while you wait though =)

So while I was at the barn this Saturday, a family came in who wanted to sign their little girl up for lessons. It's ordinary enough, except that the parents are deaf, and the litle girl only knows a bit of english. They were trying to talk to us in sign language, which didn't quite work so well, as you can imagine.
When I got home I went on the iPod App store, and found this application where you type in a letter, word, or sentence and a 3D figure will sign them out for you, and you are able to change the speed to slow it down. It is actually quite simple to learn... though I think I will have more trouble actually understanding what they say... but i'll get it eventually =)

Some sentences I can sign are...
"My name is Becca, I am 14 years old."
"I am learning sign language."
"That male/female horse is (X#) years old."

Plus a few odds and ends words... Yes, no, slow, fast, be careful, hello, how are you, good, she, he, etc... plus numbers from 1-10
