Mine never liked the baby sling thing. I must have talked a lot if Adam's any indication, can't shut the bugger up!

I still think people are talking to themselves....can't help remembering someone being hauled off a bus for talking loudly to himself ... probably locked away too...but that was the 50s.

One of my brothers learnt by following actions. He would sit in the car with my father and mimic all the moves for changing gears, indicating etc. He actually picked up the method for knitting far quicker than I did! @Nick - I remember watching a programme on TV before Elly was born about how babies react to sound. It certainly worked for Elly. @Magpie - I wish the long legs moved as well now as they did in those days. I had a long stride and covered ground quickly. @Ramana - I often mistake a moblie remote conversation as someone talking to me. :sad: @Judy - The only time Elly is quiet is when she is lost in a book.

It has happened to me any number of times as I am a slow walker and I hear some stranger talking behind me and when I turn to see, he or she is usually smiling and nodding and talking except that there is no eye contact. It is then that it occurs to me that they are on their own trip! The modern invention of hands free mobile telephony, creates such embarrassing moments too.

I can't remember if my mother talked to me a lot...I remember some of the things she said tho'....but I know that my preferred learning style is auditory as evidenced my my talkative style of teaching. I bet Kenju's boy learns/t in a different mode. I have a vision of you sailing down the road rather like a galleon or perhaps a clipper ship?

I was reading that the best strollers are the ones where the child is facing towards you and can see you, rather than facing away from you. The child that faces her mother is likely to be happier and healthier. I’m sure that was very good for her, being so close and hearing you talk to her.
