My Town Monday - Books and Babies!

So i guess you can say I have finally done something in Helena. Me and mom found the library finally, we got our cards and started on our long list of books we wanted to get.

They have a nice little children section with a small selection of board books for the younger kids. I checked out a few for Kayden, but she could care less right now. They also have some event weekly for kids and their parents. Books & Babies and Story Time. One is called Books & Babies. Its held on Mondays twice a day. 10:30 - 11:30 am and 1:30 - 2:30 pm. You sing, read, and the kids play with toys. Its really cute, and i know once Kayden gets older she will love it.

They have a welcome song at the start, you introduce yourself and your child and say that you want to say hello by waving, jumping, clapping, rowing, etc. Its cute. We chose jumping  since she was in a jumpy/bouncing mood. 

 For us it went.

" Jump hello to Kayden, to Kayden, to Kayden. Jump hello to Kayden, Jump hello! " 

and you go in a circle and do that for all the kids and the kids jump and clap along. 

After the welcome is done, the lady read a book! Kayden was less than impressed she was more interested in pulling my hair and staring at another little girl.

Next was singing some songs. Today we sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Patty Cake. While we sang All Around the Mulberry Bush we played with the parachute. I remember playing with one of these in elementary school and running under it while it was in the air and playing dodge ball under it.

After all the singing, the kids had toy time and the parents got to talk. In my case i cleaned up spit up, held a 15 pound sleeping baby and talked to people. All of the parents almost died laughing. A little boy was being a brat and kept taking a girls toy that she was playing with. She was so grown up she kept telling him he had to share and that it was her turn and she would be done soon and then he could have it again. Well ignoring her, he took the toy and went to go play. She picked up a wiffle ball and threw it at him pegging him in the head. Even his mom was laughing. That girl has good aim!

Kayden also has Monkey! She LOVES Monkey!!! A kid tried to play with monkey and she was NOT having it! Kayden screamed and cried till the girl put monkey down! That is HER monkey! 

All in all it was nice! We will be going next Monday. They break in August and December, but we will be going a lot! 

Lewis and Clark Library is VERY nice! Much better than all the other ones I have been too!
