Adorable

On Wednesday evening Ady was tidying a shelf in the playroom and came across a cd and book from Usborne which had come in the starter pack when I joined as a rep to get loads of cheap books ;). Scarlett was desperate to have it so while she got the kitchen scissors out and set about liberating it from it’s totally OTT plastic wrapping Ady got the cd walkman thingy for her.

She then sat utterly transfixed with it and listened to it twice over, all the while following the words with her finger. I’d thought she was just randomly turning pages (although it must have some noise on the cd to tell you when to turn) but she did indeed seem to be following it properly. When I was little my Mum got us the Storyteller magazine and tapes which I so looked forward to and sat for hours listening to and following the stories in the magazine (having just googled that I can’t believe I would only have been 8 then). We’ve a good selection of books and cd stories in the childrens’ section at work, I must pick some up for her 🙂
