17+months+-+singing+and+dancing

Esther loves to hear us sing nursery rhymes and now requests songs by saying row row or baa baa or doing twinkly or spider fingers, or patting her lap. Ten points for working out those songs. She's really enjoying the weekly Giggle and Wiggle session at the library with lots of other toddlers, especially the special stamp at the end (although Mum has to come up with her to get the stamp from the friendly librarians). She's also started dancing and we like to put music on in the evening before dinner to have some fun twirling round, clicking fingers and patting heads. Starting also to express our independence. Mum and Dad are working on calm voices and distraction techniques.
