Ladybug, Ladybug


I thought it only fitting to start this blog with the first book we ever read to Catherine. We started reading to her when she was only a few weeks old and her favorite book was Fly-Away Ladybug by Lamaze. She LOVED that book.

The book is about the days journey of a Ladybug. It starts with: "Ladybug, Ladybug fly far away. There are wonderful things to see today." It ends with: "Ladybug, Ladybug you flew so fast. Now you can rest home at last."

If Catherine started crying, we could recite the book and she would stop crying. She didn't even have to see the book!!! Since then we have given the book to just about everyone we know that is having a baby. Catherine's little brothers also loved Fly-Away Ladybug. We look forward to reciting it many more times in the futures.

Come back again for more of Catherine's favorite children's books.
