mommy goose

Lately our daughter has been very into nursery rhymes. She's had this book for a long time

and has brought it to me to read now and then (her favorite in this book has always been "Little Boy Blue"), but it wasn't really an every day type of thing.

Then I got the Wiggles "Pop Go the Wiggles" CD out of the library about a month ago, which is full of the Wiggles singing all of the traditional nursery rhymes. She loves it and listens to it every day in her play pen.

Next I got this book out of the library and she fell in love with "Hey Diddle Diddle." I think she likes the picture in this book because the cat is playing a "vi-ah-win." (Not a fiddle.....a vi-ah-win!) She wants this one read to her all of the time. Humpty Dumpty is another favorite in this book.

So this afternoon she brought the blue book to me and wanted me to read "Diddah Diddah Diddah" (Hey Diddle Diddle), which I did. Then she wanted Humpty Dumpty. I complied. Then she closed the book and pointed to the front and said, "Duck! Quack, Quack, Quack." I told her no, it was a goose, and said, "Honk, Honk, Honk." She insisted that it was a duck and quacked some more. I said no, and pointed to the words at the top and told her it said, "Mother Goose." She thought about that for a moment, pointed at it again, and said, "Mommy Goose!"
