StoryTelling : The Hungry Caterpillar

when we got home, baby R took out her Hungry Caterpillar book and started reading....

I asked her if she wanted to do a video to thank TTyiyi and she was game for it... when we were done with the 1st take, baby R asked to see the video and she then told me Lets do it again! she prob remembered how we took a few takes for popo's cantonese bdae song... Combined the first 2 clips we did cos the 3rd and 4th clip she did was sloppy as she ran out of patience! Here the clip esp for you TTyiyi! hope you will like the story!  love it when baby R added her own touch to the story ... Knock knock... Oh its a butterfly.... and adding descriptive words... Its a BEAUTIFUL butterfly! ... my sweet little pea.

When i returned the Maisy colourful book on opposites... i chanced upon this Maisy book and without hesistation i took it! Baby R loved to see another Maisy mouse book and its as colourful and its fun to open up the flaps to do counting, learn colours and shapes and more opposites!

Elmer the colourful elephant was introduced to me by my first teacher i worked with, Ms Helen! I can't remember the title she had read but i love this colourful elephant and it was the only book i chanced upon with elmer title... i had cut out squares of colourful paper to do a craft with baby R someday... to create her own Elmer! We yet to do it... daddy might carry out the activity with her on some weekend when i have given birth...

I did trace the elephant out for baby r to colour and i sure want to make many copies before she touches this master copy! This time round in the library i found another peek-a-boo book! Millie's amazing garden is another colourful book where Millie guesses whats hiding behind the flaps but it turns out to be something else and not what she thought it was!

When Millie tot its a beak of a bird, it turns out to be the ear of the giraffe!
Its wasnt the curls on the snail shell... its the tail of a cheetah!
so it was pretty fun to tease baby R with this book.

my gal have her favourite cartoons at age of 2years, 3mths old. One of them was Max & Ruby which she enjoys watching... she particularly like Max who tends to be cheeky... the cartoon ended a day before i went to the library and i had the idea of finding her Max & Ruby book to cheer her up and i only could find one title only! better than none... baby R was surprised and she loved that she could see these 2 bunnies in her books!

August11 Library books

i am glad baby R loves reading!

this is an important book that helped us convey the POTTY Message clearly to baby R... she simply loves the line DIAPERS ARE NOT FOREVER! At the start of August, we still had a few accidents but by now, baby R is doing great telling us when she needs to pee and we dash for the potty! As for poopoo, she still haven really get to tell us on time... only one or twice we managed to sit on the potty to clear her bowels! mum told me should give her a standard timing to try.. but it doesnt work with my gal and she doesnt have fixed timing... still its an achievement and we will get there soon!

not sure if its my influence or baby R truly loves pop-up and flipflap books, she simply enjoys reading this book, opening every little flaps she finds on each page! Its about a bear who send invites to 3 of his friends for his birthday party!

Maisy's book of opposite was a great fun colourful book that helps to illustrate and teaches baby R more on opposites! i even got to trace Maisy from one page for baby R to colour! She loves going thru each pages looking at the colours, the items and I simply love this book!

this is a great counting book! not only does it teaches baby R to count, it kinds of become a game where she guess and do remembering of where she could find the items under flaps! This is really a fun counting book and love the colours found on every page! i like the last 2 pages that quizzes the kids!

Mister Seahorse is by one of my favourite author & illustrator! only after i read this book that i realise its not the mum who looks after the eggs but its the daddy! its a journey that follows the seahorse who carries the eggs in his pouch and he glides thru the water to see his other ocean friends carrying the eggs in different ways and also spotting different fishes heading behing plastic sheet that has seaweeds and rocks printed on it... pretty interesting.
