Brave little Missy R came out with us for dinner despite nursing a fever from a vaccination jab. I had so much fun repeating "Friendly funny faces!" to the little tot. It was probably the tone I used and kept to the whole evening. For some strange reason, it tickled her quite a bit. She giggled everytime I ended the phrase with a silly face. I think her mommy will roll her eyes at me if /f/ is the first consonant she picks up! Haha.Glad that the little one's fever dissipated by the end of the evening. I hope she stays so sweet as she learns to recognize the humans hovering around her. If she's okay with me, I can babysit her very soon!
Shall attempt to teach her sounds!! I don't allow little tots that I'm babysitting to watch tv. So I shall drill the 19 vowels and 25 consonants into her. I'd love to have her recognize the differences between grapheme and phoneme. And when she's much older, I want to teach her the alphabet and phonograms!
Perhaps we could play spelling bee when we're older! We can draw and paint! So exciting.

From what u wrote here, I can sense tat u are a kid lover. Aren't you?
celcilia: no. not exactly. parenting styles are reflected on the kids. some of these styles don't sit well with me because it shows up in what the kid thinks and says. = i can't understand the kid nor bond with them. same for adults who i define clearly between intimates, friends, acquaintances n colleagues.
i don't mind SOME kids. not all. it depends. i love it when they're somebody else's kids. i refuse to have my own. that's something i definitely don't want.
You will make a wonderful mommy!!! :D
jomel: NONSENSE! i'll stick to playing with yours. altho i think ur biggest one will be a challenge. but i'm sure i can think of creative ways to manage that. after all, i was totally like that too. actually, worse. muahahahahah.
sounds like you are pretty good with kids! definitely better than i am. i'm quite hopeless with kids, except my own, but that's because he has no choice but to play by MY rules! hahaha...

What a cute baby! Look at those little fists!! I love to play with babies and put them to sleep.
I have to confess that I start switching off when the baby grows beyond 2 years old though. And good for them too, for I might also teach them some f-words...
Let it be /f/ if it brings the giggles on! It was freaking funny! Falalala. You are so good with her la!

D: haha. no way. it's all dependent on moods. the kid's and mine!
