Colors, Signing, & Singing

Few people get the chance to really see Sheridan sign or hear him talk/sing... here's your chance for a little peek :)

The first 17 times he did this (yes, this is his favorite song right now so he requests it all the time), his words were a bit clearer (in terms of articulation) and he signed more. But this is a really good representation. You can see he knows the song, knows the order, knows the words, most of his words are approximations (some are much better than others), and he signs like crazy (and helps us sign!).

The only television Sheridan watches is 1, maybe 2, episodes of Signing Time a day. He has well over 200 signs that he picked up in just over 6 months. We owe that to Rachel Coleman. Love her (and Alex and Leah).

Enjoy!

  2. I remember the first time I photographed the two of you singing in your living room ... it made such an impression on me because I could really really SEE the love and bond between you two.

  6. Oh my gosh, Great job, Sheridan!! I guess I know what song I'll be making his cake about this year, huh! I can't wait!

  7. What a cutie pie! I was definitely singing/signing along, because like so many families with kids with Down syndrome, Signing Times has a kind of frighteningly important status in our household. That and the Wiggles.

    Sheridan did a great job!
