Sing Along With Little Pim at Giggle

This week I had a great time meeting moms, babies and caregivers when Little Pim hosted the first of three free foreign language events at Giggle stores in Manhattan. We sang songs in Spanish and French with a live guitarist named Pamela. Clips of Little Pim in various languages were also shown and many parents asked me questions about their children's foreign language learning.

At the end, we all enjoyed croissant treats while our kids colored in pictures of Little Pim! Please join us for one of our next events:

-- September 21st at the Giggle in Soho or

-- September 28th at the Giggle Upper East Side

The events are at 5:00PM and last about 45 minutes.

Little Pim's founder and mother of two, Julia Pimsleur Levine, will be in attendance.

Alouette

Emmett loves to sing Alouette, the popular French nursery song. “Alouette, gentille alouette, alouette, je te plumerai…” (http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/alouette.htm ). It’s a great song for teaching parts of the body because you point to different parts of your face, head and body throughout the song. Now Emmett has been singing it to his little brother, Adrian, almost eight months old. Adrian just laughs and laughs! I beam and beam to see my little boy passing on our French traditions.
