It snowed here yesterday, which hardly ever happens (like the hurricanes in Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire) which may have been why our baby storytimes were a bit smaller than normal. That and the fact that everyone seems to be sick this month! That’s no way to start off the new year. It was actually quite nice with the smaller group. 25 babies is just too many. 15 is perfect!
Click on any linked rhyme or song below to see the lyrics.

Book: A Kiss Like This by Mary Murphy (yes! a new book by Murphy! If you love I Kissed the Baby, you’ll love this one)

Parent Message: We’ll be sharing this same rhyme book each Monday this month. Repetition is so important-the more we say the rhyme, the more your babies will learn from it. Works for adults, too!

Playtime!

Get the blower here: http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306236928&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442130953&Port=DataFeed&ad=SLI
I get refill bubbles from Amazon-in the 8oz container because they’re cheaper and Gymboree only has the 1.5 oz bottles on their site.
Glad you liked the song! 🙂

This one http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306236928&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442130953&Port=DataFeed&ad=SLI
We get 8oz refills from Amazon when the one that comes with the blower runs out. They last a really long time, though!
