Babies Toddler Lap Time, 8/23/13
This was the last toddler story time of the summer, and my last toddler story time ever, and I was glad to see it end. This story time has never gone well, or been well-attended, and this was no exception. We did a babies theme, but the kids only wanted to run laps around the room and their parents just wanted to take photos of them running. The kids did like the shaker eggs, but everything else, they pretty much ignored.
