Rhyme Time

Juliet has recently developed a love of books.  It feels quite sudden, but perhaps we are just being more disciplined in reading to her several times a day.  She will often trundle off, procure a book and plonk herself on your knee, all ready.

I must have been extremely keen on getting Alice reading, as I think that we must own every board book on the market.  This is only to Juliet's benefit, although if you try to read something other than "Maisy's Panda" which has flaps for her to open, then she can get quite miffed.

However, one new favourite is a nursery rhyme book from Little Friend Ella, for her first birthday.  This one is my favourite too, as Alice can "read" it to her and I get to faff around on Facebook or, in this case, make breakfast.  They huddle together, little blonde heads touching and Alice sings the nursery rhymes, while Juliet "harmonises".  It's quite lovely.
