In The Thick Of Things

Sam had a blast at storytime again!

He loves sitting on the floor with all of the other kids. He sang along with every song and laughed at the funny stories. The few times he wriggled and got up on his knees I caught his eye and motioned for him to sit down. Each time, he put his finger to his lips and shushed me - just like I do to him when we're at the library!

Sam did Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes along with the rest of the group. When it got really fast, he ran in place. He willingly went into a crush of kids to get a music shaker. He followed all of the directions using it - shaking it fast, shaking it slow, shaking it in a circle, and shaking it up and down. He had a moment of panic when he had to give it back but quickly recovered.

After hearing several stories about turtles, and singing silly turtle songs, he got a stamp on the back of his hand of a big lazy turtle. He is amazed by it. He just woke up from his nap and noticed it. "Ohhh...tuttuh!" he said.

I have no idea why or how my kid turned out so sociable - but it makes me very happy.

Sam not only sounds sociable, but like an unusually well-behaved toddler. Em, you are raising such a sweet little boy! I hope I get to see him some time soon.
