Mum's post: Bedtime stories

Two of the girls current favourite stories are: "Snake Alley Band"

...and "Ten Out of Bed".
I think this photo shows how cherished it is.
There was a time when I read these books no less than 3x a day to the youngest two.

Shhh-BOOM!

That's what the Snake Alley Band says! "They hissed: Shhh Shhh Shhh. They bopped their tails: BOOM BOOM BOOM. Shhh-BOOM Shhh-BOOM Shhh-BOOM."
Here is a picture by Chia of her and the star of "Snake Alley Band". Sadly his body was partially erased before this shot.

Chia is very enthusiastic about this book. She memorised it quickly and quotes it to Amelie who is eagar to Shhh-BOOM with her big sister. Some time ago T had one of those toy rubber snakes that accompanied her everywhere -and I do mean everywhere! Pandita (as she was named) lived a happy little snake life for several months until she was stretched too far and snapped in half.

Daddy and Pandita, may she rest in peace. :)

Come on and Shhh-BOOM with me! :-P

Mum's post: Drawing and reading

If you want hours of fun, give your kids a large cardboard box. Sadly, this one only lasted 30 minutes before being demolished.

Chia loves drawing and goes through paper like anything, so she's started to use the whiteboard instead. These are the first men she drew -there's usually many princesses in puffy dresses, so I thought it was worth recording.

"You can't make me smile!"

Chia has times when she won't look at the camera, or won't smile, or hold still... any number of reasons and excuses to create bad photos. She does like looking at herself afterward though and will be quite sad if she looks less than Princess like.

(The occasion for this posed photo shoot was to celebrate completeing book 1 of the "Meg and Tommy" reader series. She's now up to book 4 but the photo part of the celebration has been put on hold for a while)
