I am obsessed with good bargains. This is what lead me to Mamabargains.com and Eco Baby Buys, and this is what led me to The Jungle Grapevine alphabet flash cards. They are pretty and whimsical, and I couldn’t resist them. And they were a bargain, of course. Azita loved them almost instantly. She points at each card and babbles, mostly incoherently. Most of the animals are pretty exotic after all. Like Xenopus Toad. Or Yellow-billed Stork. Roger and I can barely pronounce the names of these creatures.
Azita’s favorite is a monkey called the Uacari. She gets really excited when she sees it. Very excited. She points at it, and laughs. And she says “Maman!” as she’s pointing to it.
Maman.
Apparently I remind her of a red-faced monkey.
Uacari
I don’t know. I guess I can see the resemblance.
