Signing (and singing) at Church

For the last month, Laiken has been going to sign language classes on Wednesday nights as part of her youth activities at church. Most of her friends chose to do chorus, but she was more interested in learning to sign like the interpreters do for our hearing impaired members. One of the interpreters volunteered to work with the children and this Sunday, they got to sign the song, As the Deer, during worship. Laiken was excited and nervous but the strange look on her face during the song is the result of the mouthful of expanders that she just got put in last Wednesday! She was still having trouble talking, much less singing; but, really, what is so cute is her hands-- so just try to focus there.
