We met some great families on our summer vacation to South Dakota. One of those great families had a beautiful daughter with whom my little pumpkin made fast friends with. This little girl couldn't speak, she used sign language to communicate. To my amazement my daughter picked up a few things pretty quick. This article was inspired by that wonderful little girl and her amazing family. I hope you enjoy it and can use some of these signs to find a new friend or just expand your current sign language vocabulary.
