Ten month old Robert Emken strikes the cutest pose ever seen on the pages of The Stow Independent at the Stow Area Parents Network’s annual Birthday Party at Randall Library for newborns to 1 year olds. The program included short sessions that introduced the children and parents to services and activities available. These included: WeeHands (a baby sign language program), infant massage, Music Together, a lactation consultant, and the Safe Start program (child safety). The group boasts over 100 members and offers its members more than just the playgroups we are all familiar with. Over the past few years, they have added a book club, scrapbooking club, Dad’s poker night, Mom’s night out, and an online message group for parents to share ideas and resources. The three big events are the Halloween Party, Valentine’s Party, and Spring Fling. This year’s Spring Fling will be held at Pine Bluffs on June 14 and will include activities and a barbeque.
