Finished beginners Auslan course

Tonight was the last night of the eight week Auslan course. I really enjoyed it and I am using it as much as possible at home. I am sure that Raphael understands some of the common signs that I sign to him. Some common phrases that I think he understands:

• come here
• drink time
• bed time
• finished

When I started the course I was unsure whether Raphael would ultimately use Auslan for communication but I wanted to get started early in case he would. I still don't know know if he will so I might continue onto a level one Auslan course. I have not decided if I will do this yet but I have expressed my continuing interest to the teacher.
