Round and Round the Mulberrry Bush...


Baby B races around the kitchen and dining room. When he gets to the dining room, he pushes the buttons on his alphabet toy until he finds a song he likes. The moment the song starts up, he races towards the kitchen and over to the chair where Simone is typing away.


"Ggg," says Baby B.


Simone dutifully stops typing and, using a fork, pops a grape into Baby B's mouth.


He runs back to the dining room and pushes the button again. Tinny music fills the house as Baby B runs back to Simone.


"Bah-nah," says Baby B.


Simone pops a slice of banana into Baby B's mouth.


Away he goes; back he comes.


"San?" he asks hopefully.


"No problem," says Simone as she puts a piece of cream cheese and jam sandwich into Baby B's mouth.


"Aap ten?" Baby B asks when he returns next.


First put away your alphabet game and the flashcards you were playing with.


The alphabet game is put away pronto but the flashcards require some finesse. Baby B soon brings the load of them to Simone. She puts them in the box. He grabs the box and tosses it into the hallway closet, shutting the door afterward.


"That's not where they go," says Simone.


Baby B sighs and removes the cards from the closet to put them in the drawer where they belong. "Se-hen?" he asks as he carts the box away.


"I don't know where the seven is," replies Simone, her eyes glued to her computer screen. "The card has disappeared somewhere..."


Baby B sits down next to Simone. "Aap-ten?"


"Okay," Simone smiles at her handsome little bear. "Let's play a computer game."
