We took the Choosy albums along to the Parent Meeting and the parents loved doing the songs too. Great program.

We just presented a brief overview of IMIL to education directors. They loved it and are anxious to learn more. We will also do a presentation for for our local Resource and Referral's Early Childhood Conference on April 19'th. It is so refreshing to share information that excites people. My heart says thank you, thank you, thank you!
