Wednesday I did another Babies in Bloom "storytime." Usually we do just songs, rhymes and fingerplays (such as "The Itsy Bitsy Spider). This time I also read, well actually *sang* a book, Over in the Meadow, as a celebration of spring.
We often have a person attending from Totsline, a county program that helps parents with parenting questions (discipline, development--the "is my baby/toddler/preschooler normal? type of questions you don't always have the time or nerve to ask your pediatrician). This time Estee, the head of the program came. Estee was surprised to hear that this was only my third time doing Babies in Bloom because I was so good at it. Among other things, I didn't get phased when the little ones got up in the middle and stood right in front of me, I just kept on going. I was really pleased especially as I love doing Babies in Bloom and have wanted to for years but it never fit in my work schedule before!
The next day, Thursday, I went for a walk. It was a beautiful clear morning, with trees in full flower, and even violets by the side of the road! I was admiring the sky. "I've never seen a daytime sky so dark a blue," I thought. "This is amazing. What's up?"
I didn't realize till I was nearly back at the apartment that the sky was so dark because *I had my sunglasses on.* Talk about clueless!
