Fun at the Library

I had been thinking about stopping by our local library the other night with my youngest and she just happened to come home with a need to check out some books.

She earned a book from the school vending machine, but it’s the 8th one in the series. Upon inquiring what she did to earn the book my child just looked at me like I was being wacky. I said they don’t just let you pick a book randomly. “Oh. Me and another girl got it for getting 100% on a test” she nonchalantly replied. This girl.

So we get to the library and go straight to where these books would be. The excitement on her face when I said let’s borrow the first two. Since we had what she wanted, she hopefully requested to play for a bit. Sure, kid.

I had planned on reading what I’m in the middle of and not borrow anything. I have ten new books at home I’m aching to read. I do not need to borrow anything.

But they were calling. Whispering to my book loving heart. I picked up an outdoor guide that looked fun for some summer activities. There was a kid’s guide to Native American history that I read with the kids a long time ago. Then I saw prince Harry’s book and I’m so curious. I don’t have an opinion, just a lot of curiosity. Right next to his book was Jennette McCurdy’s book, which I’ve been wanting to read. So they all came home with me.

The pure joy of playing in the toy room was fun to watch. She cooked, organized, created a story, and fed me some pizza.

We didn’t have a lot of time before they closed, so she cleaned up, I checked us out, and she dove right into her book on the way home. She was so excited by the story that when we got home she had to read us all a few lines. I’m so thrilled that she’s so thrilled.

Now if I can just finish this book so I can get to these…
