Singing & Dancing…

For the past few weeks, we’ve been wanting to try out a fun little music group at our local library and today it finally worked out to where we weren’t out of town or already had plans, so off to the library we went! :)

Ms. Sara, who is the choir director and piano player at our church, leads the class at the library and it was so cute!

She sang songs, played games and danced around with the kids. There was a really good sized group, too! I couldn’t believe how many people we knew who go to the group. It was fun to see everyone and to introduce Annabelle to a class setting. She NEEDS that right now. She’s gotten really shy over the past few months and aside from her BFF, Allie Claire and the occasional visits with her cousins, she doesn’t get much time with other kids. She won’t stay in the church nursery, so I’ve really been wanting to get her involved in some sort of group. But since she’s not even two yet, our options are kind of limited… so I was really excited to see what the music class was like when Ms. Sara invited us. I didn’t take my big camera, but did get a couple pics with my diaper bag camera…

At first, AB was shy and stayed close to me, Aunt Stephanie & cousin Willie. But after a while, she started to loosen up and stand up to dance and clap her hands. DSCN2127 Ms. Sara does a little game with the Mr. Potato Head and AB even went up in front of everyone BY HERSELF and put the hat on Mr. Potato Head! I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it was so precious! I was so proud of her! She also helped Ms. Sara play the guitar. DSCN2128

The group lasts for 30 minutes and was the perfect length.

We will definitely go again, and I am hoping the more we go, the better AB will be at joining in and interacting with other kids.

We got a Happy Meal for lunch and headed home to see Daddy on his lunch break!  DSCN2132

Today’s Happy meal toy.. Prince Charming… awwww…

Definitely start now!! The boys both had a bit of a time adjusting to Pre-K since they were only around each other, never went to day care, and nursery at church was only on Sunday morning. They're doing great now, but it did take some time for them to get used to being around the other kids.

Yeah for Annabelle! Of course she wanted to get involved with all the library fun. I'm so proud of her for being ok with the other kids (strangers!)

I love the last picture :) Well, I'm so glad that y'all got to go and AB got to experience it. She'll get over this shyness, I'm sure of it.

I'm so glad she had fun and warmed up to new kids! I used to take Dillan to the library for storytime but had to stop when baby boy came along...wrote a funny blog post about my experience with both of them at storytime back in March...oh my word! There has been a ban on storytime at the library ever since. :)

Hope you guys had a great weekend!
