Laptime

I put Riley in his stroller and we walk to the Orem Public Library a couple times each week to have laptime. It's for infants and toddlers. The Moms and kids sit on the floor. Dads can come too, but I have only seen Dads there once. There are different women that prepare a lesson that includes books and songs with actions. Right now I move Riley's body to participate, but later he can do the actions all by himself. The first laptime lesson we had was on seeds. She read The Carrot Seed, and also a book about a farmer that wouldn't wake up. The kids were roosters, it was so cute. She also showed us seeds and the kids tried to guess what they would turn into. It's a fun little lesson and Riley gets to interact with other children. He loves to go outside, so we enjoy the walk and I get a bit of exercise at the same time.

It will be fun to see what Riley will do on his own. What a good experience for both of you.

I wish I could just walk somewhere. Everything is too far away to walk, plus the busy streets. But what fun for you and Riley!
