We will keep updating the blog between now and when we start chemo so that everyone will know we are doing fine and so that we will stay in the habit of updating it.
Beckett has a new favorite TV show. We recently bought the DVDs for the show "Signing Time," and it's one of the best kids' shows we've seen.
Don't worry, there' s nothing wrong with Beckett's ears. The series, designed for hearing kids and parents, teaches simple American Sign Language through singing and animation. Beckett loves it, and he's also learned some new vocabulary and a few new signs. He said "I love you" (sort of, it sounds more like "lalu") for the first time after watching the Signing Time video about family.
We can't say enough about this series, and we've been inspired by the story behind it. Rachel de Azevedo Coleman, who created this program, learned to sign after one of her daughters was born deaf and another daughter was born with spina bifida and cerebral palsy. You can read her story here.

We think the Beckett blog is a great way to get all the details on Beckett! Aunt Judy, GMaPat and GPaOscar will see you all next week and are looking forward to a demonstration of Beckett's signing.
