Where Is Birdie's Belly Button?

Fans, Our Birdie is a hoot. She will select what books she would like to read before bed, thank you very much, and will dispense with suggestions to which she is not amenable with a a rapid succession of "no, no, no, no"-s which we will endeavor to catch on video for full effect and posterity. She punctuates them with head shaking and hand waving. For now, you'll have to use your imagination. Tonight, the books she selected were Peekaboo Baby (first appearance in months); Toes, Ears, and Nose!, and Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb. During this last, she beat her little hand against her leg in time to the dum-ditty-dums, and also made the fiddling motion on the "Hands play fiddles zum, zum, zum!" line, just like Julie. Birdie generally likes anything with a beat. (Rejected this evening: Bright Baby's First 100 Words, Goodnight Moon, The Rain Train.)

Toes, Ears, Nose! is a sort of a companion volume to the modern day baby and toddler classic Where Is Baby's Belly Button?, by the same author. TEN! features more body parts than WIBB? and Clara has been all about the body part identification lately. Tonight, cheeks were introduced. Sounds a lot like teeth, apparently, to Birdie. Here she is this past weekend, showing off her skills.
