The two books are “I am a Little monkey” and “I am a little elephant” both by Francois Crozat.
Littlepixie loves monkeys and elephants and [...]

Time to get up!

We have a little morning ritual here in the HPP household. Littlepixie usually stands up in the bed ready for the day around 06:00. Mr. HPP hops out of bed and turns on the light, the sheer excitment of the light being on usually buys us another half hour in bed as littlepixie runs around [...]

New words, signs and polite coughs

Posted in Attachment Parenting, Babies, Children, Mothering, Parenting, SAHM, Toddler, baby signing on 28 February, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Littlepixie has mastered her own little sign for “All Done”, a couple of weeks ago her aunty was playing with her, holding her hands in front of her together and rubbing them together like you would to remove pieces of dirt or whatever. Littlepixie really liked this movement so we adopted it as our sign [...]

In the Night Garden

Well Littlepixie has a firm favourite, In the Night Garden, and has taught herself a sign to ask to see it.
Each episode starts with a child lying in bed, you see their mum or dad’s finger tracing a little circle on the child’s hand as they begin to tell the story.
Littlepixie, with a little help [...]

Elephants

Littlepixie is signing “Elephant” now as well as “milkies”. I know it seems random, but there is an elephant mother and baby in “Mama, Mama” and I can’t make a good elephant noise, so I did the sign, I’m sure you can imagine it, you make a trunk with your hand. It’s very funny. She [...]

Signing Success!

NaBloPoMo – Day 21
We’ve moved past the leopard association and littlepixie now officially knows and correctly uses her first sign, milkies.
It’s very cute, she’ll pull at my skirt and sign when she’s thirsty. Last night, we gave her some medicine because her teeth were at her, as soon as she’d finished the medicine, she [...]

Leopards, milkies & baby signing

NaBloPoMo – Day 13
I’ve been trying to teach littlepixie the sign for milkies. I’ve been doing it every time she sees the boobies. I also did it when she looked at the Picasso print of a nursing mammy & baby we have in our sitting room and when we looked at the nursing leopard mammy [...]
