Summer Fun to Come

Today, I proudly took Miss Olive on her first trip to the library.

We went to what is now the closest library to our home. I got a new card, and we checked out their wonderful kids area. The Ladybug was so excited to see all the other kids there, it made me look forward to summer.

This library has many kids programs, one in particular for 1-to 3-year-old kids, and I've been excited since before Olive was born to get to take her. In a few more weeks (a little more than six, but who's counting?), she'll be 1, and I can't wait to take her to play at the kids' group.

I asked a few questions today, and the super-friendly librarians said they event includes singing, storytime and a variety of other activities.

One of the events was finishing up when we arrived, and there was a good crowd of moms and children there. The librarian I spoke with said all the kids love the children's librarian and that she was sure Miss Olive would fit right in.

I have such fond memories of going to the library often with my mom as a kid. I loved picking out a pile of books, usually more than I could carry myself. I couldn't wait to get home to read them over and over and over and over again.

I hope Miss Olivie builds the same types of memories, and I'm really looking forward to building them with her.
