Big Day

A big day today.... the boys got their first library cards! I was so excited for them, they love books. Do you know at Easter, when they got their baskets they sat down and read their books before they even looked at what else they got! I had to get pictures of such a momentous occasion. They each signed their own cards (with help from dad). Since it was Memorial Day weekend there was a band playing Big Band music (so much for the quiet library I kept preparing them for). Ethan and Dylan amused themselves by dancing together while the paper work was being processed for their cards. And when the band played "our" song (Tod's and mine), I danced with Tod in the children's section. Of course, he didn't even notice the song.
Ethan and Dylan loved looking at all the books. But they didn't quite get that they could take them home at first. They would read them and then put them back. We finally got a stack of books and then went over to the video section. Again, they didn't quite get it. They would find one video they liked and take it but as soon as they saw another one they liked better, they put the first one back. We did end up with a nice selection of videos, too. They liked taking their cards out of their pockets to check out the books and they each read all the way home. It really was a nice experience for them and it was one of the best Sundays for me. Tod leaves tomorrow at 5 am for Mexico, so this also gives them lots to keep them busy.

Have a good Memorial Day.

til later.....
