If this doesn't warm your heart - you don't have one.

Re-posted for the BOG~ Kindergartner signs school's holiday concert for parents

Published on Dec 9, 2013

Very entertaining video of a KODA (kid of deaf adults) enthusiastically singing holiday songs using sign language and animated facial expressions. Watch this and it would be the best 3:40 minutes you've spent in your day.

Kid with Deaf Parents Rocks Holiday Concert

This little girl has two deaf parents and chose to sign the lyrics at her kindergarten holiday concert; and she did so with style and sass.

Her name is Claire ...

Five-year-old Claire Koch was born to two deaf parents, and American Sign Language was her first language. So while 60 of her peers used generic hand motions, Claire chose to use ASL, much to her parents’ surprise.

When we first met Claire Koch, our hearts melted right away. It was clear to us within seconds, this little girl is special.

She's just about the cutest child we've ever seen. But, it's not what she says that has us so enchanted. It's what she does.

Claire communicates through sign language with her two deaf parents. With a smile, she admits, "It's kind of easy for me."

Indeed, it is second nature for the five-year-old. She signs with ease and communicates with her mother, Lori, and her father, Tom, joyfully and effortlessly.

Tom told 10 News, "Well, she was born into sign language. The minute she's born, she has two deaf parents, my wife and myself, we started signing right away."

Thought I would share this with the BOG. A holiday gift to you all~

What an amazing child, she is the true spirit of Christmas. It's about family, compassion and sharing. It's about love.

A sweet little kindergartner, does not want her deaf parents left out of the spirit of the holidays. She has so much class, so much spirit. I love her for sharing the most simple pleasure that so many of us take for granted. She let them hear the music.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday to one and all~
