For those of you who don't know, Mary had a little lamb! It's fleece was white as snow (or "wipe as snow" as Luka says), and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
This classic is Luka's current favorite song (yes, it is in English!). A very close second is Here we Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush (and wash our clothes, brush our teeth, brush our hair, wash our face, jump on one foot, hop around, etc, etc, etc). All those motions are such preschool fun!
I'd say Axel's favorite song is My Bonnie (Axel) Lies Over the Ocean and also, Round and Round the Garden, Goes the Little Mouse (or Bear). He also loves it when Mommy counts to three (or trois as the case may be) and does something fun on three. Such as makes him fly, makes him clap his hands, stand up, etc.
Luka's current fav books are Pigs Rock (I'd say that is my favorite too!) by Melanie Davis Jones and illustrated by Bob Staake. The story is clever, rhymes very well and the illustrations are very appealing. Rock on! He also likes the Olie books by William Joyce, and in particular Snowie Rolie as well as Big Time Olie. I think the text is kind of awkward sometimes, but Luka loves it. The story lines are clever and the graphics are impressive here as well. These two were library books. Have to take them back tomorrow - oh no! Gotta love the library! I just ordered Luka Sleepy Time Olie used from Amazon, so we will see how that goes.
Axel likes reading too and I try to read to just him once a day when Luka is at school. Today we read some of good baby French books about animals (Tic Tic la Giraffe, Tchok Tchok le Chameau, Zoum Zoum la Cocinelle, Odil Bourdon, Estelle la Cocinelle et Pierrot l'Escargot).
