LB Wiggles

I was able to work from home on Friday which meant I was able to attend Dexter's first day of reading group at the local library. There was a woman there with a little boy a couple months younger than Dexter who recognized Dexy from the grocery store. I said to Ben, "How does this lady know his name when nobody has introduced themselves?" Dexter took to her immediately, as did Mommy and Daddy. I think we've all made new friends. The "class" itself was fine - the "teacher" led the group in some songs, read three leaf-themed books, and walked the children through creating their own storyboards by putting colored felt animals on their individual felt boards as they appeared in the story. Then she pulled out a couple baskets of toys, put on a tape player of children's songs, and sat back. Compared to Wiggleworms, it was very low-budget. Compared to what we're paying for Wiggleworms, the local library's free reading group is totally worth the price of admission.
