Storytime!

Kinzie loves books and songs and other kids...so of course she loves Storytime at the Library! We go twice a week...one day is Music and Movement for 0-5 year olds and the other day is Baby Storytime for 0-2 yr olds. Her favorite is the storytime...cuz during the music one there's a lot of older kids that are dramatically getting into the songs and dances and Kinzie just kinda sits there and stares at them like they're crazy!! But during Storytime, they read stories and sing songs and do hand plays that are right at her level and she's more familiar with them because they are the same ones (mostly) we sing at home.
After Storytime, she loves to pull the books off the shelf and look at them. Her favorite thing, though, is to play with this little race car track thingy they have. Seeing how she's a girl, we never even thought about buying anything like this...but she loved it so much that Richard bought her some Hot Wheels and a small race track a few weeks ago.

It's so fun to watch her walk all the way around the race track and to watch her eyes get big as a car zooms down the track!


This is the 'teacher'. They call her Miss Amanda!! Such a nice lady and so fun with the kids!

For the last 15 mins of Storytime, Miss Amanda dumps out a big tub of toys and they get to just play and interact with each other. They do this because kids need to learn to socialize and how to share and interact with others--and this is a good age for them to begin learning:)

This is one of those flannel boards she uses for the song "5 little ducks went out to play..."! Kinzie had fun putting the ducks on!
We are very grateful for this opportunity! It gives us something to look forward to each week, and it's fun for her to hear stories and songs from someone other than just mom and dad...as well as meet new friends!

  4. It's the Chubbuck Library in Idaho. They have a schedule on their website (click on kids corner)...their days and times are just changing now for summer tho. But the Pocatello Idaho library also does baby storytime from what i've heard.
