Oh, by the way, some people were wondering if I'm still going to use sign language after my snails get back to work.
YOU BET! I know more than 25 signs now and there's no turning back. I'll always be deaf, especially when I'm swimming (I can't get the outside part wet--you know, the batteries and microphone stuff) or skydiving or sleeping. If I don't keep signing, I'll have a really hard time communicating with people in those situations.
Plus, Mom says there's nothing bad about knowing two languages, maybe even more! I still want to connect with other Deaf people like me, and not all of them have special snail wranglers.

Hello sweet Madeleine,
I'm glad to hear you will still use signs. I think it is so wonderful that you will be able to talk in more than one language and I know the people that only use sign language will be so happy they an talk to you. Sometimes people tell Grandma D she talks too softly and they can't hear her so signs can help others in those times too. Keep learning more signs. Love you, Grandma and Grandpa D.
