Babytime at the Library

Roselyn does not have a lot of outings just for her, but each Monday she does have special time at the library. At 11am each Monday Roselyn and I attend babytime at the Newnan library along with one of her "boyfriends" Hudson and Hudson's mom Stephanie. The time starts with play time with simple toys (blocks, etc) on a large brightly colored mat. Roselyn cannot sit up yet on her own so I have to either hold her up or lie her down on the mat. She plays with the toys some, but tends to like to play with her pacifier or watch Hudson play (he is 7 weeks older than her and does sit up and play with the toys). After play time is bubble time. The two librarians blow bubbles to the babies delight. The babies then choose a book (well, I choose a book) and we have a few minutes to read. Letters are also placed on the floor for the babies to explore. Roselyn is just starting to feel the books and notice the letters. Next is song time. The librarians lead the babies through different nursery rhymes and silly songs. Roselyn loves to watch the puppets and the expressions on the librarians. She wants to stand during all the songs (with my assistance, of course). There is normally a theme each week with a large book to go along with the theme. Today's theme was cats. Roselyn sometimes pays attention to the story, but today she seemed interested in looking at the other babies- especially Hudson. The who event takes 45 minutes. That is just enough for Roselyn because by the end she is tired and hungry. We then rush home for lunch and relax until the next Monday.
