Baby School

Annie had her first night of "baby school" on Tuesday. These nights consist of 45 minutes of playtime, circle time (songs and finger plays), and a 30 minute parent discussion time. She was great the whole time. We played for a while with rattles and a pair of cows from the set of Duplo blocks. We read books, and Sam tickled Annie with a puppet (she laughed), and Annie enjoyed a special foam chair that allowed her to sit up and look at the room. The parents then adjourned to discuss in the other room, and Annie fell asleep on my lap. The bigger kids get to stay and play while the parents meet, but babies stay with mom and dad. She has 9 classmates, ages birth-5. She is not the youngest; little Eric is 10 days younger. It was a good way to get out of the house, play with Anne, and meet some other parents with young children. It is definitely something we will do again when Annie gets older and can participate in more of the activities. In the meantime we can play baby games with her!
