Me and xiaobao started listening to Your Baby Can Read (YBCR)starter video. Xiaobao seems like to like it whenever these two songs come up. One is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Incy Wincy Spider. I was lying down as we listen to the DVD, xiaobao moving around in all sorts of direction :)
I am just wondering how I can do that when school starts. Suppose to listen to it first thing when I wake up and then after meal in the afternoon. Before I sleep, I will listen to the phonics CD for 30-45 minutes. Will do that tonight - see how it goes :) more updates tomorrow on that.
Xiaobao will listen to this starter video for about one month and see how he goes. Then the other DVDs for either a month or two months. Depends on how xiaobao does. If he can recall everything then, we can move along. People said if I start listening to them now, when xiaobao's born, he'll be familiar to the song and feel comfortable and safe. It will probably calm him down too :)
I am looking forward to tomorrow's checkup at St. Paul, I can't wait to see xiaobao again! This time I'll charge my camera and see if we can record the process. Last time xiaobao yawned three times and at the same time rubbing his face during the ultrasound, he looked so cute!! :)
So far, I can 'communicate' to xiaobao upon demand. If I rub or pat, he'll response and move around :) Sometimes he'll stick up real high and turn really hard. I think that's either his bum or his head :) Earlier we were walking around in the Dragon Center looking for a small blender. Xiaobao got excited and stick up real high that I couldn't breathe comfortably and making me wanting to go to the loo. After we bought it, he's fine :P will blend some fruit juice later...
We have oranges and grapes. Wonder what it tastes like... :) mmm

I was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Chocolate Bar" and Xiaobao seems to like that one too :-)
ReplyDeleteFor the record, oranges and grapes taste nice. Here's how you make it Bao style.
ReplyDeleteYou need:
1/2 cup of fresh green seedless grapes
1 orange
6 ice cubes
1 Blender
Our blender comes with three different sizes of "jug". One is a reasonable beaker size and this is what we use. I would say a good mug size.
1) Wash and clean grapes and place in blender.
2) Peel and add individual orange slices
This should fill the blender. To ensure a smooth mix you should now blend away until the pitch of the blender gets higher.
If your jug is the same size as ours there will now be plenty of space too add the ice.
3) Add the ice and start the blender.
Keep blending until the sound of smashing ice stops and the blender again reaches a higher pitch.
4) Enjoy your ice cold grape and orange beverage :-)
