Trip to the Library
Every Saturday, either before or after swimming lessons the kids and I go to the library over on the west side of town. We like that one. Its newer and the kids section is well defined, well stocked, and and an absolute kid magnet. I go straight to the new picture books rack, the oldest hunts for new books in the series she likes to read and the youngest grabs at picture books that have covers she likes.
Who picks those books? What a fabulous job! I’m amazed by the great books I find that I never see in the bookstores. The girls like them, too, and we’d probably buy them when we visit the stores but they’re not out on the tables or on the shelves.
The oldest has also sprung into a knowledge freak. She is finding herself more frequently wandering through the reference aisles in the kids’ section. She’s starting to read about science and history, and especially ancient Egypt. I can see the attraction. I had it, too, when I was her age. Its so fun watching her grow and mature in her thinking.
