Our first baby group activity

Today I took Tesla to the Potrero Hill library where they have a sing, dance, story telling session for babies a few times a month. It was our very first gathering of such, and I found myself observing the other mothers, caretakers, and 1 father. I guess I don't really see myself as a "mother" yet and I felt out of place. Tesla didn't seem too impressed by all the gay & bouncy activities; she almost fell asleep by the end. I duly sang along, clapped her hands, and raised her high at the right moments during songs.

Tesla was by far the youngest. Seeing the toddlers get a kick out of all this, it was clear that such gatherings are special and good for the kids. It warmed my heart to think that Dav and I will take Tesla to such activities for her pleasure. At the same time I felt bad for children who don't have such opportunities. I'm looking forward to making Tesla a happy kid.

* note the wrist guard I'm wearing now. Tesla is heavy enough that my wrists can't take much of her...
