Toddler Time

As a first time mom, I was very excited about registering Abby for Toddler Time at our local library.  The description stated that children ages 0-3 would enjoy stories, songs, and an easy craft.  What it failed to mention was that it was led by a very grumpy old lady. 

The children (mind you all under 3) were NOT allowed to talk at all during the story, nor could they sing too loudly.  In fact, Miss Jessy ended song time because the children simply could not keep their voices down.  I think every mother in the room was astonished by Miss Jessy and her lack of love for children.  There was one person in the room who didn't seem to mind her strict policies, and that person was Abigail Levengood.

Abby was fearless.  She stood in the very front of a room of 30 people right in front of Miss Jessy.  She also seem to have a deep respect for the rules as she listened politely with her hands behind her back, and when Miss Jessy reprimanded the other children, Abigail stood to face them with her arms folded.  My little teacher's pet.

I am sure other mothers were wondering why I was taking pictures of such a terrible session.  The answer is simple.  My daughter was cracking me up.  I am glad she enjoyed her time at the library today.  I think we might try the other one next time though...

The day continued with our friends Danielle and Dean.  Dean and Abby are soul mates.  They enjoyed kissing during craft and then had a romantic lunch at Puccini's following TT.   It was a very entertaining morning!

Watch how Abby raises her eyebrows to see if she impressed Dean.
