New Year-Week Three

We sure do have fun each week! I love the fact that the adults who come with the children in the program are happy and exicited to participate each week. It's important for many reasons, one of which is the fact that it shows the little ones that being here at the library is fun and helps them see that it's okay to participate. There are some children that like to observe the activities and then go crazy doing them at home. That's okay too!
So here's a question for you... What was your favorite nursery rhyme when you were a kid? I vividly remember singing "Sing a Song of Sixpence" at the top of my lungs while swinging in my backyard. In case you forgot what it is or have never heard it here are the words:

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Did I mention my mother would be out hanging clothes on the line at the same time? Yikes-sounds like something that will have to be explored in a therapy session in the future! :) Just kidding-it's come full circle anyway-now I'm the one hanging clothes out on the line!
