Story telling

When I came out from the shower last night, I found Yiu Yiu sitting on the bed yakking away, with hubby listening attentively. I then realized that she was actually telling a story to hubby. I listened on and her story progressed from princesses to Barney to some imaginary friends to police and bad guys to … (you get the drift). Though the characters are varied, she actually linked them all together. I suddenly had the presence of mind to record it, but as my camera was downstairs, I grabbed my mobile phone. But by then, she was already wrapping up her story, and I could only record about one minute of the ending.

Listen on and see if you can comprehend her story, as the recording quality wasn’t so good.

Did you hear how she ended the story? She said "And then!" when she meant to say "The end!" Ha ha...

Hubby told me that she had been yakking away for about 10 – 15 minutes, non-stop!!! She didn’t even have to pause to think of her story line but just yakked away linking different stories/concepts one after another. I was really surprised, as this is the first time she told us bedtime stories, instead of the other way around.

It is good that YY is getting creative. I think by doing so more often she will be more confident the next time and do it in front of her classmates.
