And it's begun!
Baby (or should I say toddler? she's always baby to me somehow!)
Baby gets into the car, points her index finger to the sky and demands.. "Baa Baa"
and we have to play baa baa black sheep for her.. over and over and over again!
this is exasperation mingled with pride and love
the question is baa baa black sheep a politically incorrect song does arise in my head - a minor aside for now
the worst of it all is, I have nursery rhyme ditties in my head all day and night long now! how I long for some grown up music in my head!
Baa Baa is significant for our baby in her own way though - our new zealand trip, if nothing else, she developed a love for those baa baas! any stretch of green and she'd be on the look out for those wooly friends of hers. plus it was the first animal she got up close and personal with, daring to reach out and touch their fur, on a farm visit. till then, she used to shy away from real animals (pictures ones were okay)
so with the baa baa, she got to appreciate nature, experience relating the picture to the real thing and even tried petting and feeding them!
and now this rhyme! who knows what it reminds her of?
