Baby Rule #3: Toys from the Library

I love to check out toys from the library. I think Jo likes it too... And she definitely enjoys pulling things off the shelves there though she isn't fussy what she pulls off this shelf, and she rarely remains committed to whatever she pulls. There are so many things to pull off the shelf, she most thoroughly enjoys that. Our last toy trip to the library was definitely a success. Jo loves music, especially anything with a solid beat. She dances in her chair to the snippets of music between news stories on the radio. She was rocking out when we went to Syd's dance recital. It's hilarious stuff. Recently she has been dancing to her favourite book - Farmyard Beat, which doesn't even have a tune, just a beat created by the pattern of the words in the book. But the most recent toy I grabbed from the library was a music set. It has a little tambourine, a triangle, some bells but most importantly to Jo, it has maracas. She LOVES the maracas. She will walk around the house with both of them just shaking them silly. She will bump her little bum to their rhythm if you shake them in time. They're a major redirection tool.

She will also try to drum up breakfast with them in the morning.

It wasn't working as you can see from the facial expression. I was too busy taking pictures of her. She's most displeased.
