Tonight, Ava visited for a little while. Our oldest son, who lives at home, is deaf and didn't have to work tonight. Ava went into his room and wanted to get up on his bed to play with the pillows - this is something she likes to do a lot.
She asked her mama to put her on the bed by standing by the bed and saying "Up!" Mama said, "Ask Chris to help you."
Ava turned around and looked at Chris for a little bit, looking like she wasn't quite sure how to get her point across. How likely is it that a one and a half year old understands deafness? But this little one knows that "normal" communication just isn't going to cut it.
After a few moments of thought she held her hands out so that Chris would pick her up. Then she pointed at his bed so that he would walk in that direction. When they were standing at the side of the bed she reached towards the bed with both hands and Chris put her down on the bed.
Now, that took some problem solving skills.
