Books

Today we are grateful for books and the Library.

Now, I love books--is anyone really surprised? No, not really. Every Monday there is a lap sit at the Library. We love to go. There is a dog puppet, and Miss A is awesome. She learns the kids names and she is a joy to watch interact. The Friendly Hero picked out his train book before lap sit today and he had to show everyone his book. Miss A was great with him and looked at it with him and he showed her the blue trains and the cars. I was grateful for her and her interactions with my son.

I am also grateful for the state wide library system. I can get whatever book I want because usually somewhere in the state is the book I want to read. A lot of times, I go to pick up my books on hold and not one of them is from my library system. Whenever I see the library systems, I keep hoping that it came from my sister's library--but not yet.

I am grateful for my family. My family sent the Friendly Hero a card, and he carries it everywhere--he also colored it. One sister told him to look for a bus, and he spends the time carrying the card around, waving at it and screaming "Bus!" He's really trying to find that bus.

He's also really excited for a certain Aunt to come through the door in a few days. He looks at the door and says, "Aria! Door!" I'm grateful for his love and his excitement over family members.

I am grateful for the Peaceful Hero. He is very sweet and loves to wave his arms. As we were bathing him tonight, we couldn't get over how old he looks...He is a month old, but he suddenly looks not like a newborn. He's probably 11+ lbs now and he is straightening himself out. I am grateful he is healthy and wonderful.

I am also grateful for matching clothes. I'm trying to get them in all the matching outfits at least once...before the Peaceful Hero no longer fits in them. About half of the clothes this size are getting tight.

I love how the Peaceful Hero is looking at his Big Brother!
