Sorry for any frustrations over the next few months with the titles and order of episodes. We are making some changes and bringing you the same great content, better production quality and organized a bit differently to make it easier!

Read a book and listen to this episode with your little one as you wind down to sleep...

hopefully! ;)

Episode Inspired by with excerpt from

Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?

by Brianna Sayres

Warmly,

Miss Pam

Experience more joy with your baby during the fourth trimester - that special period - birth to 3 months.

Warmly,

Miss Pam

How can I experience more joy when I'm with my baby?

And how can I raise a child who loves to read and loves to learn?

I'm Miss Pam. I'm a children's librarian, a trained teacher, and a grandma of three.

Baby Wordplay is a podcast for you and your baby to do together!

You build your baby's brain moment by moment with each touch and each word.

Your baby's brain can only develop to its full potential through interacting with you.

You're the secret sauce.

This might be your first episode of Baby Wordplay podcast since your baby was born.

So welcome.

I'm so glad you're here.

🌗Happy Solar eclipse day🎼

It’s when moon gets in my way

Moon’s in front and I’m behind

Truth be told I do not mind

Happy solar eclipse day

Happy solar eclipse day

It’s when moon gets in my way

a Solar corona around my face

I still shine in a different place.

Happy solar eclipse day!

Warmly,

Miss Pam

+TESTIMONIAL: "I love the podcast. My daughter got excited as soon as she heard the first song. Thank you so much."

🌺 *Tingalayo! This Caribbean song has a bit of dialect, Me (My) donkey dance, Me (My) donkey sing... etc. An example of exposing your little one to the diversity of language.

*If you're new to the podcast please begin with #1 & #2 so you can learn some of the basics. *Please Subscribe Rate and Review!*🌺 For more information about Baby Wordplay 🌺 🌺 Questions? Send me an email🌺 Warmly, Miss Pam 🌺

++ This episode has a little British flavour. Cheers!

☕I feel lucky to be able to spend a few months in London each year with my daughter's family with 2 grandchildren, ages 3 and 5 years - and one just arrived!

This helps to keep me on my early literacy toes!

+ 'Miss Pam Has 5 Senses' modeled on Aliki's book MY FIVE SENSES published by Harper Collins, adapted by me.

+Sitting here in London - tune from "Sitting Here in Limbo" - Jimmy Cliff

Thank you for tuning into me, and your little one!

Wishy Washy Washer Woman

. . . and so much more!

Parents, listen with your little one the first few times. Do the actions with them or for them.

Make sure they can see your mouth and see how you make sounds the sounds that you make!

______________________________________________

Way down in the valley where nobody goes
     
There's a wishy washy washer woman washing her clothes

She goes: ooh! aah! ooh ahh, ooh ahh, ooh, ahh
       (using both hands scrub down then up)
That's how the wishy washy washer woman washes her clothes!

 Way down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman drying her clothes

She goes:  (blow!) aah! (blow!) aah! (blow!) aah (blow!) aah!
That's how the wishy washy washer woman dries her clothes
 Way down in the valley where nobody goes
There's a wishy washy washer woman folding her clothes

She goes: clap clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap clap
That's how the wishy washy washer woman folds her clothes!

Have fun with phonics!

Warmly,Miss Pam
