...and who would the new family storytime storyteller???? Why it is ME! ...and we had our first session Thursday evening. I was nervous, believe it or not. I had done storytime before Allison was born, when I worked at the library before. I did my last storytime like two or three weeks before Allison was born...almost 7 years ago. I normally feel competent to work with kids, and talking in front of kids, and in fact when I do something like this, I don't even realize there are adults/parents in the room. However, like I said, I was nervous going into it. I don't think I felt as prepared as I would have liked to have been. Plus, we've had two really really creative people lead family storytime in the interim. I am working 10 hours a week at the library now, which does include the 4.5 hours that I do Homework Center. That leaves me 5.5 hours to plan and actually DO the storytime each week. That may sound like a lot of time but it really goes fast.
So, how did Thursday go? It went fine. It went FAST too! Allison really liked Mandy, the last person who did storytime. She was disappointed when she left. She really wasn't that happy that I took it over either. It's interesting how all the child development/psychology material say that parents should be involved in their children's lives, at school, etc etc etc......I think Allison feels I am TOO involved in her life!!! Whether it be school, Sunday School, activities, and NOW library too....it's too much! LOL So, asked her how I did after storytime was over Thursday night. She looks real serious and says, "Better than I expected really." Well, okay then......
