just got back from Deaf Day at the zoo and it was AMAZING i can't even explain there were SO MANY Deaf people and families all over the zoo today I learned so many new animal+zoo related signs and it was incredible! and my spouse and I almost exclusively signed all day long and it's been forever since we've done that, and our son got to sign to so many people and tell them his sign name and answer a few small questions in sign, so many people were so impressed that a CODA toddler who is learning ASL as a second language is able to sign so well and understand even more.
yall it was just so wonderful. i could cry. my heart was SO full i'm just.... ugh it was so good to see so many signers all around me. usually the three of us are the only people we see signing and it was so amazing to see so many regional signs and little accents and stuff, it was so cool. genuinely the best zoo trip ever.
