Thursday was library day and we were actually early. Bailey showed off for the Librarian Shannon and jumped and made up stories about monkeys and cows, and I think a dog was involved too. We discussed our new F words replacement and shared some giggles. Once story time begun, Bailey sat down nicely in my lap and was quite attentive. I was thoroughly impressed. She didn't do the hand motions with the songs, she was busy processing it instead, and then when the second book was finished, suddenly, so was Miss B.
She did this last week too, and I didn't put much thought into it until it happened the second week in a row. It's like she ultimately decided that after the second book is finished, her attention span has been maxed out. She took that as a cue to watch the fish, play musical chairs with herself, and distract another little girl (the same one she caused to join in the hissing last week).
Then it was craft time, and she did a fantastic job on her fish card for Father's Day and liked gluing the polka dots on top of one another. Once she was finished, it was time to get a sticker and she loved that part the best. However, she wanted more than one. I had to politely explain to her that she only gets one sticker each week. She hung up her name tag and was ready to go, without even a "bye-bye" mentioned. Then it was off to the "apple" house, which I still testify is a tomato.
...At least she waits for her tomato after story time. For now.
And if you do think about the books, two really is more than enough. How long can you sit still while someone reads?
