We love the library at our house right now! My mom gets credit for my own love of books. She took us to the library all the time growing up, my sister and I knew where all the cool hiding places in used bookstores were located, and we all spent hours reading together. Mom even "retired" recently so that she could work part time at the library, her dream job. :)
When big sis was little we spent time going to the music, art, and reading activities for toddlers at the local library. Once little man arrived the combo of two kiddos, work, and school proved a bit much to squeeze in trips to the library. But once he was 2 we got little man his own library card and started going to the library sporadically. This past summer, after little man turned 3, we were able to make library trips part of our normal routine. We check out books, videos and books on tape for road trips. I've even been able to start reading again for fun. And do you know they give our kiddos tattoos each time they visit? Who wouldn't love a librarian who gives away tattoos???
Big sis is starting to learn to read sight words in Kindergarten right now. She is a bit hesitant at times because she gets frustrated that she can't read every word yet. But every day she learns a little bit more. I look forward to the day when big sis picks out books at the library that she can read to us. :)
