I first started capturing her storytelling using the video mode on our digital camera, around about April, but she soon refused to let me film her. So I tried writing her stories while she told them, using pen and paper. That lasted for only a few stories too, before she caught on. Since then, I've been recording her using a mini MP3 recorder, which is pretty unobtrusive, and transcribing the audio later. She then objected strongly to this as well... Nowadays I use a combo of MP3 and video to record her before transcribing. I only manage to record a fraction of the stories she tells. I always have a backlog of stories on the recorder that still need transcribing, as it's impossible for me to keep up with her. To help new readers, I've marked my favourite stories with a star (*), so at least you have somewhere to start if you don't know where to begin. Don't forget to check the older archives too - there are some gems in there as well!

Kyesh, the dinosaur - mid-July 07

Kyesh, the dinosaur.
Kyesh said “Hush! Sshhh! Ssshh!”
(Whispers) tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe
(Suddenly yells loudly) “DAHHH!!!!!” said t-rex, “THAT IS YUCK!”
“Yuck... I spit out that kind of things...”
“OH!!!!! I ate that there, that brown thing!.... I ate the brown thing...”
“Why I keep have the brown thing?
Why I have the brown thing, because? Why?
Why I have the brown thing? Where’s it from?
“Can I see it?” And I saw
There was a DOCTOR in the house!
“Argh! Yuck! (indecipherable) You eat meat!” said parasaurolophus
Also! Also you mommy! You both eat!
(HAHAHA, looks like she got me with that one!)
