Baby Basket Time

We have continued with Baby Basket Time this week and are still loving it (big brother included).  E and I have even come up with a song that we start with each time.  

E has been singing the Farmer in the Dell a lot so we changed the words to...

It's Baby Basket Time
It's Baby Basket Time
We'll do each one and have some fun
It's Baby Basket Time


I changed out most of the toys, but kept a few the same.  I added some finger puppets, a mirror, soft blocks,  color book, and a phone.

I tried to keep it simple for myself.  I didn't make a big point to plan what I would do with each one.  I really just explored each one with T.  By the end of the week, however, some sort of routine emerged with each.

For instance, the sock puppets were used to sing Old McDonald Had a Farm.  I would sing with them on my fingers and dance them around as T watched.  Then, I would let T pull them off my fingers and into his mouth they would go.
