Storytime

Scarlett and I just had our last session of Storytime yesterday at our local library. I was kinda sad that it was over. Scarlett loves Storytime. It's not the kind where you just drop by and some librarian is reading a book. It actually limits the age range (she's in the Young 2's session) and requires advanced sign-up since it has a capacity of about 20 toddlers. Each session is about 8 weeks long and this is the second session that we've signed up for. It has been really cool to watch her progress through these Storytime sessions. She went from being a passive (but very good) observer who sucked her thumb the entire time to singing along with all the songs and responding to all the interactive questions that the librarian throws out. She's gotten to know the librarian's name and looked forward to Storytime every week. The last two weeks, I've thoroughly enjoyed going with her and watching her participate along. It's just so darn cute! Now we'll have to wait for the Spring session in April but I think these opportunities of seeing her learn and interact at such a young age are just priceless and one of the reaons I love working part-time.
