You know, when you think about it, all humans (of any age) simply long to be able to communicate with others. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to give young'uns all the means of communication possible. And the younger, the better! Good for your wife, learning some of "another language" like ASL, and sharing it with your son -- at the very least, she's teaching him to observe and learn! That’s really neat!

When she sings the alphabet song to our (hearing) son (who turns 2 next month), she often signs it as well. You can tell that something is registering with our son when she does this; he'll often start playing with his hands as if trying to mimic her signs. It's pretty neat.
