This week has seen a good few turns of The Magic Train Ride. It's a standard feature of Barefoot Singalongs that they are REALLY CATCHY. My other half just asked me if I'd been having a sneaky dram in the bedroom as I came downstairs singing about monkeys and outer space! You can judge for yourself, and thank me later....
You might notice that all the train stations have numbers - Emily insists that she gets to announce each one which is very sweet, and it's a nice way of practising number recognition without labouring over it. She loves spotting all the little details in the pictures and I often have to pause while she describes what's going on. There's been a good deal of sisterly bonding over it with her big sister as they take the train from room to room, always a welcome sight!
