Ring Around The Rosie
Thomas loves to do Ring Around The Rosie, ever since he learned about this amazing tune and dance, but with just the two or three of us, it isn't as much fun.
Can you imagine the squeals of delight when he got to do it at story time today? Wanna hear them? ;)
(PS: We have never done Ring Around The Rosie before, but one little boy asked for it, and Mrs. Carolyn decided why not!)
The other parents fell in love with his laugh and how happy he was. One mom told me "it is contagious!"
Usually during story time Thomas will sit and (mostly) listen to the stories, and if I am lucky--he will do the craft. But, almost NEVER will he participate in the songs and "exercise." He throws himself on my feet or legs or other body part if I try to get him to do it to.
But, that seems to have changed this summer. I don't know if it is because he is older, or because Gracie is going with us, but he is actually jumping in and singing and doing motions. This is HUGE!! Now, he still needs to warm up, but today he did the last of the "excerises" and then after the story he did ALL of the songs!! All of them!! He usually only will do "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!!!"
Want to see? Want to see?!!!!
Mrs. Carolyn told him today how proud she was that he was singing and doing the other activities. He sat beside her to show off his craft and get a sticker and he told her abour how excited he is for preschool.
All of the library ladies are wonderful, but Thomas has a favorite with Mrs. Carolyn. She did ask me if she would get to see him agian, but I told her that preschool is only 2 days a week, so we will still do story time. I think they were both relieved. :)
Oh, and guess what?!! They are doing a Back To School event at the library at the end of the month and there will be school buses there to give kids rides. Oh, how Thomas can't wait!! He has not stopped saying "ride school bus" all day. He has been crushed that he can't ride a bus to preschool, and Gracie gets to ride one to her school. I will video and take pictures--the works on that morning--what a special moment for him!
