Thanks, Adam!

You're absolutely right: I knew she was doing something but I had no idea 
what!

Ahh... yes, I see.  I did have a lot of trouble seeing what she was doing.  
Thank you! :-)

Okay, thanks. :-)  Good to know!

Those give me so much trouble... and I know I'm not the only one!

You're quite right... my mistake!

>The sign after "fairy" has a brow raise in the video followed by a pause.

You're right... topic marker... I have the brow raise in my handwritten 
notes, but obviously I forgot to put it into SignText!  Oops...

>I saw the facial expression and the sign in the last column as one sign.

I saw those as separate: the one-hand showed the first fairy approaching the 
baby, and then she reacted to seeing Princess Aurora.

And I thank you for them! :-)
