Food and Eating Storytime

In the Children's Area because the elevator was broken.  It was pretty disastrous.  I really didn't have time to change things up, and I had to haul everything up the stairs.  Several books had just come in, and I didn't have time to review them, and I just felt flustered!  Then it was a very young group, many new faces, and oh, so many distractions!!  And I was being observed by a staff member who is being trained in storytime.  I felt pretty awful having her see one of my worst storytimes ever!!
