My daughter has a new obsession which started in California. She LOVES to sleep with the book of Mother Goose stories.
She won't drift off to sleep unless Mother Goose is not only in her bed but tucked in her blanket! Many a night has left me frantically trying to locate the book before putting her down. She has Dolly, her white blanket and "Mo Goose".
But it isn't just sleeping with the book- she loves to READ the stories in there. She has memorized a few. She rocks her Dolly to sleep with "Rock a Bye Baby" and loves to sing "Baa-Baa Black Sheep" at the top of her lungs. It actually sounds like "Baa-baa black sh*t" but ya know...
Have you taken the time to actually read the stories in these books? Yuck! "What are little boys made of? Snips and snails and puppy dog tails...that's what little boys are made of." They actually still print stuff like this?
Yes, they do and Seren LOVES it. I'll try to get a video of Seren singing Baa-baa because it is a good rendition.
Just to give you one more example of how much these stories have permeated our lives? We were at the zoo in Oakland last week. Seren took one look at the meerkats and yelled "THREE BLIND MICE!" That had me in giggles for quite a while.
