Last week, we went to North Wales with Jessicat's Granny and Grandad for her first ever holiday. In spite of rain and Jessicat's teething (upper two front teeth are now making an appearance), we had a lovely time. She was excited by the donkeys and Llandudno beach, and was thoroughly spoilt by her grandparents, acquiring some new outfits and a lovely knitted dolly whom we have christened Beatrice (carrying on with the theme of toys' names being inspired by Shakespearean characters - who said kids are dumbed down these days?!?!)
We have come home to more dubious weather (oh I love it and what an improvement on last summer), and some cracking reads.
Sparkly Day - Helen Stephens. Have now read and enjoyed this whole series together.
Everyone Hide From Wibbly Pig - Mick Inkpen. Jess really enjoys this book, but I have to protect the delicate flaps from marauding little hands.
Cow Moos - Stephen Barker. Jessicat loves trying to do the actions herself. Unfortunately, all the books we have read so far in this series have come from the library and been in poor condition, often heavily sellotaped or torn, which does reduce enjoyment somewhat.
Colours - author unknown, from the Bright Baby series.
That's Not My Dragon - Fiona Watt and Rachel Wells. This is our favourite book yet from this wonderful series. We are going to order all of them from the library! Even more excitingly, Jessicat is now showing signs of being able to point to the little mouse hidden on each page when asked. Her comprehension seems to be really coming on each month.
