As soon as we moved to McKinney, I checked the local libraries to see about story times for toddlers. Turns out, they started the week after we moved in, so we decided to give it a whirl. We ended up liking the one at the downtown library best, so we've gone every Monday. Seriously. Every Monday! I think we should get a perfect attendance certificate, but doubt we will :)
At the beginning of the semester, Jack wandered around the room quite a bit, looked out the windows, tried to manipulate the cd player while it was playing, etc... You know, he was a typical curious boy. There wasn't a whole lot of listening to the stories going on. Oh well. I was determined not to give up.
I'm so glad we didn't. Here are some clips I took yesterday - our last meeting until January :(
"Going on a Bear Hunt"
"Shake my Sillies Out"
"The Hokey Pokey"
yes... he always puts his head on the floor like that and leaves it there ;)
I realize these are of him dancing along to songs and not really "story time", but I'm shocked at how much he's picked up in just a few short months. He LOVES music - especially if there are motions that go along with the song.
We loved spending our Monday mornings at the library and can't wait for it to start up again in January!
Oh my gosh these are ADORABLE!!! So, so cute. I'm so thankful that you are taking these pictures and videos. I'm sitting here in my chair smiling ear to ear and laughing out loud. Darling.
