Library Time

Today was our last library time for this session. We'll have a break for a few weeks until a new class starts up. But, since this was our last one for a while I guess Brianna decided to go out with a bang. She always enjoys story time but you can never tell if she's going to sit quietly or go crazy. Today she went crazy! When our librarian starts the class she lists off the "rules" such as everyone participating and no snacks, etc. After she's done that she usually says, "Okay, let's get started." Well, Bree listened to her repeat the rules then she said in a loud voice "OK, all right!" Besides reading at story time, we also sing a number of songs that have motions to go along. Bree was very active today doing all the motions and even singing along quite a bit. At the end of each song the librarian usually leads the class in clapping and saying "Yay!" Well, today Brianna was clapping and jumping up and down and yelling "YAY! ALL RIGHT!" after each song, much to everyone's amusement. Then, when one of our books had seahorses in it she was yelling "NEMO, NEMO!" (Even though Nemo is a fish!?) But the best part was when we did the baby shark chant. In the chant we make hand motions and start with baby shark, then mommy shark, daddy shark, grampa shark, then people swimming, sharks coming, and shark attack! (Where we tickle the kids' bellies). Brianna is very familiar with this routine. She made all the hand motions and was trying to say all the words as well. She knew what was coming and just could not contain herself. So, about 2 seconds before the rest of the class she yells "SHARK ATTACK!" and laughs hysterically. Needless to say I got a lot of comments afterwords about how outgoing and energetic my child is. :) To top it all off we came home and had lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches (also known as "hot sammiches"), and soup (which Bree ate with great gusto). Then I herded her into her room and into her crib where she laid down and said "Night Mom," then went directly to sleep. It was a really good morning.
