Chase had a major new adventure today: going to the "Movers and Shakers" program at the Columbia Library. The program turned out to be a version of Babygarten for older children. So Chase and Nanaw knew all the songs and stories and toys. Chase started off by running around the room, and Nanaw was concerned that he would continue to do that during the program. But amazingly enough, he came and sat on Nanaw’s lap and participated in all the songs and stories – it was wonderful. He seemed to have a great time. Riley, one of the little girls from Babygarten, was there. Chase seemed to especially enjoy the last activity, which he later called snow popcorn. The activity involved a sheet and a bunch of fuzzy snowballs. The boys and girls held on to the sheet and shook it up and down with the snowballs inside – they were making pretend popcorn and at the end, they bounced the snowballs all over the room. Nanaw thinks this is definitely going to be a good program for Chase. Unfortunately, Nanaw forgot to take pictures at "Movers and Shakers" but she’ll remember next week.
