10:59 | Bye Bye It's the end of the hour (so fast!) and the kiddos say one last goodbye to their new furry friends. What now? They all live happily ever after.

10:54 | Arf Arf Spot's so cheeky...he's sneaking up on the audience! (Including a dad or two.)

10: 52 | Vroom Vroom "What sounds do a race car make?" As kids reply, "vroom vroom," Spot is playing ambassador, posing for photos and, um, smiling big for the camera with fans.

10:46 | Attention! The young audience is starting to lose focus...but it's during another story and the lollipop is speaking! Apparently, the glistening crystal curtains are more interesting to some of the kids. OH! Spot and Peter are back. Perfect timing.

10:33 | Bye Bye Kiddy "Say bye to Spot and Peter Rabbit," announces Tina of AsiaMedia to the audience while promising another story. Aw. That's it?

10:29 | Bunny Business "Are rabbits supposed to be in the garden?" asks the storyteller. YES! But kids do as kids are and contemplates this for awhile. Then off they go, counting sheep on the next page. Spot and Peter are also listening intently. One little fellow in an orange tee has managed to escape to the back of the room.

10:22 | Special Guests One Spot story later, we've got some VIPs--it's Spot himself and his friend Peter Rabbit. As expected, kids go wild and Peter struggles to hang on to his carrot. Now it's time for "Spot at the Park", story two. The parents are having a good time, too, enjoying chit-chat with other moms and dads over a Sunday coffee.

10:16 | Once Upon A Time... Not really. Spot's modern so he just takes us on an adventure in the city. The kids are excited and have plenty of energy to burn so there's a bit of running around but like us, they just want a story.


10:06 | Rise and Shine And we're back, live blogging from day two of SILF. This morning we're gearing up for the kiddos--and they are already piling in in all of their adorable glory, waiting for an hour of stories with Spot the Dog and Peter Rabbit. The Crystal Room is filling with shrieks of toddler speak and just now, an "Are we ready yet?" It's another beautiful day on the Bund and our window seat is perfect for soaking it all up over a cup of M on the Bund's delicious coffee. We've got a secret about Spot, but we'll fill you in later. And yes, little boy--we're ready.
