I've discovered a story time for babies 12 months and younger at the library just minutes from our house (and in Dallas, nothing is just minutes away so I was very excited...it is literally right around the corner). The story time, called Mother Goose, isn't really a "story" time at all, but it was lots of fun. We started with a hello song, then did some stretches, then many more songs (everything requiring you to interact and do motions with your baby...very fun), then ended with a goodbye song. Oh, I almost forgot the parachute...Madelyn really liked that part. This is actually where the allotted time ends, but the teacher brings around a variety of board books and lets each baby pick one or two. She also sets out an assortment of balls for the babies to play with. The teacher said this is the time for moms and babies to mingle! All in all, we had a good time, except Madelyn wasn't crazy about the Rock-a-Bye-Baby song...she refuses to be rocked or even held in that position. In her defense, she was not the only baby refusing! We will definitely go back but will have to wait until June as there are no story times in May.

Looks so fun! How did you find it? I need to get on something soon!
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds really awesome! We have a fun program at our local library too, but yours sounds even better. Cady loves the parachute at Gymboree.
