Today marks the beginning of my last week at home with the girls; it is bittersweet. I would give anything to spend my days with them, being lazy, swimming, cuddling and reading books. On the other hand, I love my career and days out of the house make me long to see them and spend every second with them in the afternoons.
Since our return from the beach, Ella and I have been doing some things we’ve been talking about since Sophie arrived. First up, was a visit to our local library.
Just like her mommy, my Ella is a bookworm. We attempted a visit to the library before we left for vacation, but the librarian was sick. Ella cried all the way home. This visit, however, was successful and met with big smiles all around.
She wasn’t sure what to expect and I thought she’d be a little overwhelmed by the selection. Not to mention that my child doesn’t have a quiet bone in her body, so I wondered how the concept of “whisper” would go over. She surprised me. She was quiet and quick, making her selections and eager to get back home to read.
She selected six books and two videos and proudly exited with a shiny new library card and a tote for her books. I’m thinking we’ll be making weekly visits before too long!
