This is the way we take a bath,

Take a bath, take a bath.

This is the way we take a bath

So early in the morning.

Here We Go Up, Up, Up!

Here we go up, up, up!
Here we go down, down, down.
Here we go up, up, up!
Here we go down, down, down.

Suggested additional verses:
Here we go to the side,
Here we are standing up straight.
Here we go to the side,
Here we are standing up straight.

Here we go giving a hug!
Here we go giving a kiss!
Here we go giving a hug!

Here is Baby Ready for a Nap

Here is baby ready for a nap.
I'll lay you down here in my lap.
I'll cover you up so you won't peep,
And rock you 'til you're fast asleep.

Our activity this week was Bean Bags!



Our next Baby and Me Storytime will be April 1 & 3, 2014!

Each Baby & Me Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
