MR=skating
When i was a little girl, my mom played books on tape for my sister and i at bedtime. I vaguely remember "reading" a story in kindergarten... I had memorized the tape! When we lived in NJ, i would take books on cd out of the library all the time for the girls to listen to at playtime. The libraries here have tapes and we don't have a tape player; thank goodness for birthday gifts and itunes! The girls were given a set of Disney storybooks with cds and love listening to them in the car. MN especially enjoys Beauty and the Beast. Belle is her favorite princess, even though she has never seen the movie! Last night she grabbed her Little Golden Book copy of Beauty and the Beast and "read" the story to us. The cd version that we have is different from the Golden Books one, but she used the pictures to guide her and retold half the story all by herself. She got tired and asked Bill to finish reading the rest. We were very impressed with her recall of some difficult vocabulary words! I guess it's time to download some new stories!!
Last winter, MR flat out refused to finish her ski lesson. Bill and i have been so pleased with her determination to learn to skate! She is so nervous without the bar, but she's really doing a great job. She tends to be our kiddo that falls a lot, so it's nice to see her taking to the ice and staying upright!
