Baby Storytime--June 5

This week I highlighted books with photographs instead of illustrations and talked about how much babies love to look at faces!  This was also our first session with new songs/rhymes/bounces for the summer--so those always start off a little rocky.  Next year I think I will try to do the add one new one and take one away approach...then I will have done it both ways and see what works best for the babies, parents, and me.
