Story Time

Well it has been about a month since I left work and Elena and I are starting to get a routine down which includes trips to the library, parks and walks around the neighborhood.  We are fortunate that our library offers story time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  For about a half hour the toddlers enjoy listening to stories, singing, and dancing.  The first couple times we went, Elena sat close to me, but today she wanted to interact with the toddlers and dance to the songs (she sang a little too).  She really loves books, we have been reading for 1-2 hours almost every day.  If you set out a few books, Elena will pick out the one she wants you to read. 

Elena and Claire (2 years) trying to share a book.  There was another little girl that came up and wanted to play with Elena too.  It is so cute to see Elena interacting with other kids and adults.

Elena was on cloud nine.  So many books to look at, so many kids to play with and oh, the wonderful chairs to climb on.  She is such a happy baby and big too.  She seems normal to us until we go to the doctor and we are told she is in the 90th percentile (bigger than 90% of her peers).  Being at the library with 1-2 year olds, and you can clearly see how much bigger Elena is than her peers.
