In Infant Storytime on Tuesday we did some bedtime stories, and talked about going to sleep and waking up. We started with our Opening Song Clap Everybody and Say Hello<\/a>, and our Scarf Song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20160802_095223\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also waved our scarves gently to the rhythm of the nursery rhyme Rockabye Baby. Then we read Goodnight, Good Dog<\/a> by Mary Lyn Ray and illustrated by Rebecca Malone. It’s a sweet book with clearly outlined illustrations, and nice for ramping down Baby’s day and getting ready for sleep.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We lifted babies up and down to an abridged version of the song Way Up In the Sky The Little Birds Fly<\/a> and sang about Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (this is a picture of the monkeys I was using):<\/p>\n

\"five<\/a><\/p>\n

We read Baby Bedtim<\/a>e by Mem Fox and Emma Quay. It was a bit long I think, and I’ll abridge it next time. Both books this week were a bit long in my opinion. But both of them were sweet.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We sang Ten in the Bed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Ten<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we learned a new song called Wake Up Toes. I found it originally on a resource put together by the Perry Public Library<\/a>. It’s by Joanie Bartels, on her CD Morning Magic. <\/p>\n

Wake up toes, wake up toes
\nWake up toes and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
\nWake up toes, wake up toes,
\nWake and wiggle in the morning
\nWake up feet, wake up feet\u2026
\nWake up legs, wake up legs\u2026
\nWake up arms, wake up arms\u2026
\nWake up hands, wake up hands…
\nWake up head, wake up head…
\nWake up me, all of me\u2026
\n(Source: Perry Public Library, www.perrypubliclibrary.org\/children.htm. You can view a video of the song here<\/a>.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We bounced to A Smooth Road to London Town<\/a> and then did some songs with our Song Cube. <\/p>\n

Next Tuesday will be my last Tuesday with you for a while! It’s such a joy to read and sing with you each week. Thanks for being so wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
