Skeleton

Prior to going to the library today, Abi said to her mother that she needed to get a book on skeletons. Once we got there and Priscilla had located a simple book with some good pictures, Abi sat on her mother's lap and asked to read through the book. Then she went and read some story books, played on the catalogue computer alongside Pascale, and pushed the umbrella stroller to the borrowing desk. We got home and after lunch Abi read the skeleton book again with Por Por. Then for her bedtime reading Abigail chose the skeleton book first out of the 3 she was allowed to have. This may be a new fascination to replace the ballet books, which she didn't even miss after they had been returned. We did borrow 2 DVDs of full length ballets tho, which Abi was pleased about (Sleeping Beauty and La Fille mal Garde, and Ballets Russe documentary).

PS October 2008
After reading the skeleton book and body book twice, Abi didn't need to read them anymore.  She continues her fascination with ballet and dancing,
and the sound of words too; sometimes repeating "La fille mal gardee" many times.
