Where is (child's name)? Where is (child's name)?
(Cover child's face with a blanket or scarf)
There you are! There you are!

Hickory, Dickory Dock
Hickory, dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
(run fingers up baby's back, or lift baby in the air)
The clock struck one, (clap once)
The mouse ran down,
(run fingers down baby's back)
Hickory dickory dock.
...the clock struck two (clap twice), the mouse said "Wooo!"...
...the clock struck three (clap three times), the mouse said "Weee!"...
...the clock struck four (clap four times), the mouse said "No more!"..
Activities:
Good Morning Toes!*
Good morning toes,
Good morning toes,
And how are you today?
I trust you had a good night's sleep
And now you're ready to play!
Enjoy saying good morning to a variety of places on your baby's body!
*At my mid-afternoon visit to Golden Hills I changed the words to fit the children's schedule, so we sang:
Hello toes,
Hello toes,
And how are you today?
I trust you had a nice, long nap
And now you're ready to play!
Everybody Knows I Love My Toes
(By Barbara Allyn, copyright SOCAN)
Everybody knows I love my toes.
Everybody knows I love my toes.
I love my noggin', my knees,
my neck and my nose,
And everybody knows I love my toes!
Everybody knows I love my eyes.
Everybody knows I love my eyes.
I love my legs, my lips,
my neck and my nose,
And everybody knows I love my toes!
Everybody knows I love my feet.
Everybody knows I love my feet.
I love my skin, my chin,
my neck and my nose,
And everybody knows I love my toes!
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Let's do it again!"
Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Goodbye!"
Library News:
Our newest friends at the library's Baby & Me Storytime are Grace, Liam, Lydia, Liya and Chase. Welcome to you all! Our attempt to reduce the class size for Baby & Me seems to be working. This week we had 10 on Tuesday and 30 on Wednesday. Please know that you are always welcome to visit either day and can even switch back and forth. Hopefully the addition of a second session each week will make Baby & Me Storytime more enjoyable for everyone!
Our ExploreTime Activity this week was jigsaw puzzles! Even the youngest babies can enjoy seeing the colors and shapes of the pieces and watching Mommy put each piece in its special place. Talking with your child as you manipulate the pieces will further engage him in exploring the wonderful world of puzzles! Every Child Ready to Read® recommends spending time (lots of it!) talking to and with your child. It is one of the basic building blocks that will lay a foundation for your child's future successes in reading and learning!
