I saw this amazing sand sculpture in Seaside this weekend. To sign PEACE, press the palms of both hands together and rotate the hands at the wrists so the top hand becomes the bottom hand. Bring both hands out and away from each other with the palms facing downwards.

I saw this furry little creature while I was on a walk today. After peering at the adorable fluffy ball for a moment, I decided conclusively that it is a rabbit! 😆 Learn to sign rabbit here https://youtu.be/CqbTGW8Uxxc

I'm so sad to hear that the Portland Children's Museum is closing forever. 😢 As a member, I went there all of the time with my daughter before the pandemic. In fact, before her 18 month doctor's visit, she was only speaking about 20 words/word approximations. But when I told her we had to get ready to go, she signed to me hopefully, "Alligator Museum?" which is what she called the Portland Children's Museum because she loved the large alligator with his toothbrushes in the front area. Such heartbreaking news. 😭😔
