ASL is overwhelming

We just started signing with DS, and I'm feeling very overwhelmed by the whole thing. I'm really not sure I'm qualified to be this poor kids mom :( I guess we all just do our best, right?

    If you have a teacher of the deaf or an SLP ask them for a couple blank copies of the MacArthur-Bates Language Inventory. It is a checklist of common words listed in categories (Food, toys, clothes, outside things, household items).

    These vocab
