Children Songs

Little Marc loves my night shirt which has a princess, soldier and a clown printed on it. He is always fascinated with the princess crown and the colorful clown. So yesterday I made him a crown out of craft papers so that he can amuse himself. He put on a smile in front of the mirror and not long he accidentally tore the crown. I guess his crown is too flimsy.






Later I thought I want him to enjoy a few children songs and so I searched the web for lyrics to sing to him. And I found this website which has over 2000 songs. I think I can sing till my mouth runs dry with that amount of songs LOL: http://bussongs.com/activity_songs.php

But I plan to do action songs with him so that he can have more fun moving his hands and legs. Songs like "Wheel on a bus", "Itsy bitsy spider", "Row row row your boat" and "Old Macdonald" will be fun.

Play activity on Monday

Every other day I will take out magic colors and see if little Marc is interested in coloring. It seems he is not interested yet. I tried to tempt him by drawing the outline of my hand and his hand but he doesn't seem to be interested. He is more interested in taking the pens and analysing them, tried to pull the caps away or try to connect each one of them into a longer pen. This is interesting watching him, he is definitely not that type of a person who can sit and do things.  He is more of a practical person. Oh gosh! Will it mean he won't be interested in reading and writing in the future? If this is so, I have to put more effort to help him with his homework when he starts schooling.

Oh well I just have to put those anxious mommy thoughts about his education on hold. After all he is only coming to 2 years old. What he needs now is more play and exploration time. Don't want him to stress out at such a young age. He loves to jump on the bed (we had the bed frame removed when he was few months old) especially when I top up a few gigantic pillows to make them into some sort of a slide. He can giggle a looong time playing with his "slide".
