Bambino talk

Just imagining what Bambino might be thinking ... :)

He's been more and more active these days...must be busy listening in on us and reacting to what we are saying! If only we can decipher what he is saying too! Just the other night, I was reading aloud a few Psalms from the Bible and found him to be kicking rather rhythmically...maybe he was saying "Amen" to the promises in the Bible!! :)

I came by this psychological experiment in a book titled "Baby Monthly" by Carol Pope published by BBC. The experiment indicated that "even before making an entrance into the world, babies listen in, learn and , even more surprisingly, remember what they have heard going on out there". Psychologist Anthony De Casper asked pregnant women to sing 'Mary had a Little Lamb' frequently in the fortnight before they expected to give birth. After the birth, the newborn babies were given a choice - through the sucking test. The babies were fitted with headphones through which they could hear a tape either of 'Mary had a Little Lamb' or another song sang by their mothers. They could switch the songs by changing the way they sucked on a special dummy or pacifier, which was wired up to a computer. By sucking faster or slower, the babies could change the tape. The babies voted with their sucks for their familiar womb song - 'Mary had a Little Lamb'!! :)

Wonder if Bambino will choose 《小白船》if he is subjected to similar tests when he has been borned? :)

Here's an interesting artical on "Fetal Psychology".
