Rhyming, Reading, Singing, Playing...

Following on from the rhyming post, Jamie has started singing a lot more.  He doesn't always get the words right - and they often don't rhyme - but he can at least sing a story and often makes up little songs as he goes along. 

Although nursery have mentioned his sleeping arrangements, other than that he seems to be doing very well there.  They often say how he likes to tell them stories, and he is always playing games - usually 'super heroes' or 'houses' with the other children - usually his best friends Archie and / or Joseph.

At home, he plays games with his teddies (usually 'parties') and uses cushions to represent people.   Jamie and his daddy are always playing some game or other.  (Mummy is more of a cuddle giver and a reader!)

At the moment Jamie is very interested in what rhymes with what and constantly asks what a word says; either in books, on the TV or when we are out and about.  He has also started picking out the letters from his name; 'Is that in my name?', and is getting better and better at writing his (first) name.

While mummy still has a job (only a few weeks left) she has been buying Jamie some of the brilliant magazines that are available.  Recent ones include Fireman Sam and Octonauts   www.theoctonauts.com/   These are a bit pricey, but include stories, spot the difference, letters and number pages as well as lots of stickers - which Jamie loves! 

And we have started recording The  Numberjacks www.numberjacks.co.uk/kids/  as Jamie actually asks for it, although he still loves 'Show me, Show me' and 'Bob The Builder'.
