Baby Lap Time, 4/19/12 and 4/20/12

I wasn't crazy about my first book in the Thursday session, so I chose a different one on a similar concept for Friday. I've also decided to stop awkwardly interrupting the flow of the story time to collect shaker eggs by moving the shaking portion to the end. It seemed to work pretty well, and I've had some nice compliments about this program from some of the parents. I'm going to skip the commentary because I'm behind and have another story time left to post, but here are the two sessions, for the sake of comparison.
