Usual trip to library after Rhymetime to choose some new reading matter to keep Jessicat and me going over the Bank Holiday weekend. What have we got?
Eat Up Dudley - David Wojtowycz
Twinkly Night - Helen Stephens
Who Are You? Stella Blackstone and Debbie Harter
Tickle Tickle - Helen Oxenbury
Boom, Baby, Boom, Boom - Margaret Mahy
Snuggle Up, Sleepy Ones - Claire Freedman
A pretty varied selection here I think. Over the last couple of days, Jess has really enjoyed Peekaboo Jungle (Emily Bolam) and Funny Sunny Garden (Helen Stephens). She loves to feel different textures with a clumsy, open, starfish type hand, and it's lovely to be able to point to the bit on the page and see her place her open palm over it. Books with mirrors are also coming into their own at the moment, as this always makes her smile. And, as always, we have our nursery rhymes and songs to keep us entertained in checkout queues and other dull moments. I don't care if we attract funny looks from the other shoppers; I bet they just want to listen in...
Still no luck on rolling front to back, which is frustrating. But Jessicat is starting to babble, a new development as of today. So exciting to think that this is the precursor of proper speech.

That looks like a good selection of books to me! I can't wait to get home and start reading them to Jess. Bank Holiday in the UK this weekend which means no work on Monday! A three day weekend usually gives me an opportunity to devour a book or two. I will finish the Karin Slaughter book either tonight or tomorrow (a good read it is too!) and then I have a Harlen Coben book from the library to read. Harlen Coben is a hugely entertaining thriller writer. He has a lead character in a number of his books called Myron Bolitar (good name!)who is a strong character. His associate 'Win' is something else!
After that I will probably go on to Mark Haddon's latest offering (He wrote 'A Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time' which is a wonderful book).
