There was quite a boom of energy in the room today at Robertson house. One of the staff members informed me that there were quite a few new kids to the building, so that made for a class in which the bulk of the kids were much older than the small handful of babies who showed up, which made things a bit difficult at times. The older kids brought lots of excitement, but also some rowdiness, and quite a bit of volume (especially during Sticky Sticky Bubblegum and our final jam), which led to some of the babies needing to have a break from the class. The kids who stayed seemed to be having a good time though, and were quite participatory with songs like The Hokey Pokey, If You're Happy, and Five Little Monkeys (basically anything with lots of movement). We had a short but lively jam, and once the parachute came out I think it made quite a few of the kids' days. Not without some challenges, but also not without great rewards!
