Mommy & Me- Emery's First Family Night

Tonight was Family Night for Emery's Mommy & Me class! Since this past weekend was the Fourth of July, we had taken Monday off and planned a Family Night on Thursday to make up for it. We have attended several Family Nights over the course of Brantley's Mommy & Me classes so we knew the routine- food, family, & an abbreviated version of what we do in class. But I was very anxious to see how this particular night would play out with Brantley being there in the "big sister" role. After all, she knows Ms. Madalene, she knows all the songs, she knows the protocol for Family Nights, but this was Emery's class and her little friends. Of course, GrandPattie and Daddy were on hand to keep Brantley entertained (or consoled) if the situation began deteriorating...But it didn't. Brantley was GREAT. She danced along to the all the songs by herself and then GrandPattie did the Hippo Song with her. And Ms. Madelene is always so great to make sure that any siblings who come to the class are given turns to do things after the babies. One thing that was different on this night was during the 'Inside, Outside' song she had the older siblings sit on the mat with their baby. It was really sweet. We had a great time and are looking forward to many more!
