Crystal Stringham - Caring for Your Baby: the First Year
Meet together with expectant and new parents to discuss the first year with your new baby. We will discuss the changes that will occur in your family and what to expect from a newborn, sitter, crawler, and looking ahead to toddler-hood. This course will cover developmentally appropriate behaviors and milestones, first foods, and sleeping patterns, as well as self-care for mom and dad. You will have the opportunity to share your joys and concerns of life with a newborn and fill up your parenting 'toolbox' with strategies that will foster healthy growth for your family. Babies that are 'in-arms' (usually under 5/6 months) are welcome but you may want to have a partner or friend/relative available to help. Expectant parents are also welcome.

Library Theater: Aardvark Improv Theater
Aardvark Improv features several talented actor/writers who create hilarious original scenes on the spot. They use audience suggestions in the style of the TV show: "Who’s Line is it Anyway." There’s no script, there's no outline… The only preparation they have is their wits and adrenaline. You toss out the suggestions and Aardvark Improv runs away with them – as they have for several years in the Westchester area. It's always original, it's always funny. It's Aardvark Improv. And you can be a part of it.
