Babytime!

So today I took Bo to "Babytime" at the local library. I've never been a library kind of gal...hated reading growing up. I was the one who waited to do her summer reading for school the week before school started! And in college the library was more for social reasons. (I know Jarrod is shaking his head if he's reading this) at least I'm honest! So the one thing I want to expose Bo to is reading. He loves books so we seem to be on the right track, at least for a 6 month old.

Today was our first time to attend and he had a blast. The class is just for babies ages 0-12 months. There were a lot of 6-10 month babies, a few 12 month olds, and even two 3 month olds. Some were crawling, some were sitting on their own, some sat supported by mom (that would be Bo). There were about 20 moms and babies there. They put out one of those big, colorful parachutes for everyone to sit on. There is always a theme and today's was Animals! She had puppets of all different animals, then she read 3-4 books and in between stories we sang songs. At the end they throw out a bunch of toys and the kids can play while moms get to know each other. It was great for both of us! Bo made two friends in particular RJ (6 months) and Mack (12 mo). It was so much fun to see him interact with other babies. We will definitely be going back!!
