Microblog: Little Movers & Shakers

When B was a little guy, I took him to storytime starting around 6 months. At 17 months, Claire has only ever tagged along to B's storytime hour (and doesn't even get offered a cookie when they occasionally have them available). B was bringing me dozens of books each day at her age and she isn't as interested. I blame that on my lack of devoted time to give her since Benjamin is still very much dependent on me for his entertainment. A dual book reading doesn't often go off without a hitch. Sounds dreamy though.

This morning, I dropped B off at VBS and was planning to stop at the library since my next destination (Habitat for Humanity Restore) didn't open until 10. I was killing time and also figured I'd use the library scanner to get some photos uploaded really quick. 

We arrived as the librarian was opening the doors and she asked if we were there for baby storytime. Um, no we weren't! I took about 10 steps further toward the scanner before realizing that encouraging literacy in my 17-month-old was more important than those scanned photos. We turned around and entered the storytime room.

Wouldn't you know, Claire loved it. It was boat-themed and the brave librarian even had a pool filled with a few inches of water and boats they could add to the mix. I went home and signed her up for storytime for the rest of the session. Her own storytime.
