Today was truly an experience for, not only Amelia, but Mommy too! I took Amelia to her first REAL playgroup at our local library today. Every Thursday at 10:30 the library offers a "lap-sit" play group! When I heard about this, I jumped all over the opportunity to get her around some social interaction. She really isn't used to being around a bunch of other kiddos. All this moving around from place to place and instability in our lives has really created a social gap for our little one. I was a little nervous about how she would do, but fortunately, as soon as Mrs. Sheryl (the lap-sit teacher) started singing "twinkle, twinkle, little star", Amelia's attention was captivated!
The group was simply adorable! The age range of the class is birth-24 months, so there where many different ages and stages represented! Mrs. Sheryl started the class by gathering everybody in a circle and we all sang fun songs together! She even passed out these adorable foam shapes or animals that went along with each song we sang! Stars for "twinkle, twinkle", Monkeys for "10 little monkeys", Spiders for "itsy, bitsy spider" and I could go on and on! Amelia loved the group singing!
After sing time was over, Mrs. Sheryl pulled out books and toys! Just when Amelia thought things couldn't get any better!!
And after toy time and a little book reading... the bubble machine made a GRAND appearence!! Oh the joy that filled that little girls heart!! The bubbles were enough to keep us coming back week after week! What a fun day!
