harper and baby bookworms.

Baby Bookworms is a library storytime at our local library for children ages birth-24 months. It is every Monday and Thursday at 9:45am. It lasts about 30 minutes.

It is fun and the babies/kids love it.

Hayden went when he was little and now Harper is going.

We went for the first time a few weeks ago and now we plan on going every Monday.

It's funny because when we go, Harper just crawls away from me and watches the activities. She rarely looks back to check on me. She really seems to care less if I am there.

She does try to engage with other parents though. She will crawl to them and try to play with them and their babies/kids.

All the while, I am sitting about 30 feet away just watching her. I do go and pick her up and move her when it seems that she is bothering other people. Otherwise, I just let her do her thing.

I've tried to pick her up and bring her to me, but she just crawls away again. So it is what it is. She is independent and secure in herself and our relationship - which is a good thing.

Here are some pictures I took with my iPhone from Harper's first Baby Bookworms experience.

  1. What a great experience for her. Ethan was always independent like that...still is. Gets harder when their older because they can go further faster and don't seem to care if you're in sight!

    I wish they would have story time at our libraries at times when I'd be able to take Ethan. It's one of the struggles of being a working mom.

  3. I used to take my oldest to story time at the library back when it was in it's old location. Good times. Now we can't step foot in the library. Court ordered. Kidding....but seriously my boys aren't library friendly.

  4. Where on earth do you buy her clothes, because she has the cutest little outfits in every picture you post! I miss baby clothes...they were so cute.

  5. I agree that Harper always wears the cutest outfits. And I think it's great that she is having such a fun, independent time at the library. Really cool!
