Baby Lap Time, 10/5 & 10/6

Attendance is really dwindling from week to the week, to the point that the parents are beginning to comment on it. I'm not sure if it's me, or if that's just the nature of families with babies. I also just feel really boring during these story times. I don't think anyone else feels that way, but it makes me feel awkward. I'm already noting the changes I want to make for next season! Hopefully, I'll get more comfortable with the smaller groups as I have more practice.
