reading and talking

I know some mommies out there are excited and anxious after looking at Joel's video, and have rushed to the shops to get flashcards, DVDs, toys... Please dont get panicky. Let your baby take his/her time. And i hope the massage techniques i told you might also speed things up a little.

Joel also cant talk yet - just reading words he's been looking at since he was very little.

When you come to think of it, it's weird, right?
Can read, cannot talk. ;)

.

For those whom i didnt email, here's the method:
1. clench your fists
2. there's 3 "sections" (joints) on your fingers, right? use the middle section
3. press it against your baby's cheeks (baby facing you)
4. rotate both hands OUTWARDS in a circular motion
5. maybe can do about 20 circles everyday

I'm not sure what's the logic behind this...but it supposed to work.

Have fun!
