Within these last two weeks, I somehow became a children’s book author. What started off as something fun and cute quickly turned into something much bigger, because now moms are telling me I need to publish it. Somewhere along the way, I also became a party planner. 😂 Yes, I celebrated my birthday a few days early so I could enjoy it with MY Tiny Tots — and truthfully, I enjoyed every single minute of it.

We started the day by playing “How Well Do You Know Ms. Iris?” …and let’s just say, they know me WAY too well. 😉

Then we headed into the meeting room for the grand premiere of “Ms. Iris’s Books & Boots Birthday Bash Tiny Tots Storytime” displayed on the big screen. Watching the children realize the story was about them — with their real names, real personalities, and real moments from storytime — was absolutely priceless. The shocked faces, the squeals, the pointing fingers, and nonstop laughter made every late night and every ounce of effort completely worth it.

And seeing everyone come dressed for the occasion in their BOOTS?! 👢 Whew!!! That warmed my heart more than I can explain.

Today reminded me that the library is so much bigger than books. It’s love, memories, laughter, imagination, connection, and creating moments ALL of our patrons will hopefully remember forever.

But of course… MY Tiny Tots showed up and showed OUT for their Ms. Iris today — and I’ll never forget it!!! 🤎📚✨

We were SO happy to be back together for Tiny Tots Storytime today! Although a few of our little friends were missing, and we definitely missed them, but we still had a Quack-tastic time together 🦆🪿

Today, we created our own ducks and let’s just say… we had ALL kinds waddling around the library 😂🦆

💛 Silly ducks 🤪 🦆
💛 Funny ducks 😂 🦆
💛 Happy ducks 😃 🦆
💛 Sarcastic ducks 😆 🦆
💛 Runaway ducks 🏃‍♂️ 🦆
💛 Just a whole bunch of personalities

By the end of Storytime, there were quack quacks and waddles everywhere 🤣🦆✨

Tiny Tots Adventures 🌈🫧

Tiny Tots Takeover Tuesdays was FULL of energy today… fast-paced, exciting, busy, but a whole bunch of laughter and memorable moments.

We got creative making beautiful Mother’s Day flowers using bleeding tissue paper (with our sweet little faces in the middle, of course 💐📸), then headed outside for bubbles with Ms. Ani 🫧

We, then, slowed things down just a bit for a good read with Mrs. Sherelle 📚💛

We were SO happy to welcome back our sweet friend Sunny girl. We missed her so much! 💕 And, we also got to celebrate her becoming a big sister by welcoming her new baby brother, Samuel 🍼✨ 👣

Plus, we had a special new visitor, Baby Hayes, to join us today! We’re hoping he enjoyed himself so much that he’ll become one of our Tiny Tot friends too 💙
