From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!
I think I'm the one who actually like Dr Seuss' books more than Aisyah because I've bought (again!!) 4 more books (Hop on Pop; One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish; And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street; Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?)
But I also bought them because I know she likes them. Aisyah has a preference over certain books. She personally likes Dr Seuss *apart from her lil board books* very much by the way she responds when I read them. She reads with me with her 'tchaatchaa', 'aaahhs' and whatnots. Whenever I read something from Dr Seuss *without looking at the book*, she looks at the stack of books we have on the shelves. She will drop her toys when I have a book in my hands. If I do not respond quickly enough to continue reading, she will yell and bang her fist on the book as if telling me, 'Ibu, pls continue reading!'.
I would really like her to like reading because it is a good habit. I used to read a lot but with lack of time and/or energy to pay attention to a novel, I can leave a book unfinished for days, even months, at a time. It’s simply a lot harder for me to do these days, with home life and work and such. And when I do read one, I would inevitably fall asleep. The good thing is I don't need sleeping pills for imsomnia...heh.
