Summer Baby Lap Time #4, 8/2/12 and 8/3/12

This week, the second session varied quite a bit from the first. I took out some of the things I didn't feel confident in and threw in some more of our old lap time favorites. Here are the two sessions: 


Thursday Session

Opening Song: Please Tell Us Your Name 
I was going to try singing a hello song where I didn't actually have to ask anyone their child's name, but there were a few kids I was shaky on so I did this is this way one more time.

Song with Puppets: Goodnight by the Laurie Berkner Band (sung a cappella)

Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big

I was especially touched on Friday when a mom told me, "I never knew my daughter liked books until we came to story time. Now we read at home." This is why we have story times for babies. If anyone ever asks, I now have that anecdote to share. Just a lovely thing for a librarian to hear.
