I can now recite Good Night Moon from memory with about 95% accuracy.
I guess that comes from only having four board books from which to choose: Good Night Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and two by Sandra Boynton -- Snuggle Puppy and The Going To Bed Book.
I ordered a Mother Goose book that I remembered from childhood but apparently my memory was wonky because it is totally not what I expected. We (read: Mark) also pulled down the box of children's books that I brought from my mom's house years ago. It includes a lot of Dr. Suess, a few Disney books, and a handful of Little Golden Books (which are almost exclusively Christmas stories). None of these work as well at this age as the four board books. Most are just longer than I'd like.
I never expected to sing as much as I have in the past month. I'm glad I got a sheet full of songs from Parent Participation class. That was a good starting point and I've been either making things up ("You are very cute, little Toot Toot. You are very sweet, good enough to eat!") or dredging childhood memories for songs (Old MacDonald, This Old Man, etc). Zoe's favorite is "The Merry Duke of York" (Thank you, PP!). Last night she burst into a fit of giggles when we did that one. Probably the combination of the bouncing and singing. :)
