I didn't grow up listening to English nursery rhymes and children songs, so it was a real challenge to find English songs for Paul's niece or cousin. I "learned" Incy Wincy Spider from a kindergarten when I sat in the class to build rapport with the kids that I'm going to test for my experiment :P But I quickly forgot the lyrics so I literally needed to search the lyrics.
So far Paul's niece, Shalom, LOVES the B.I.N.G.O. She still can't really sing the whole song, but she can follow a bit here and there and she recognizes various nursery rhymes and song. The bad news is... Paul also can't remember the lyrics of children songs >.< Today we were running out of songs (we tried to entertain her in the journey from Boon Keng to my house, Clementi) so we sang Baa baa black sheep, Old MacDonalds, incy wincy spider, B.I.N.G.O, etc etc (too bad my house is far). I remembered Barney's "I Love you, you love me" but only until the line "we're a happy family". *failed.....*
Okay time to learn new songs. Shalom is bored with old songs already. Hahaha.
Oh the funny thing is.. today Shalom joined us watching BBC "Human Planet" series. We were watching about the "Rivers" and she watched the 'waterfall' so we taught her "waterfall"! I was like, "Wah, such a sophisticated baby. 2-year-old can say 'waterfall' already". Hahaha.
