Yesterday, we ventured out into the cold to go to the library. I didn’t want to bring in the stroller, so with everybody bundled in their puffy winter coats, I settled Danny in the frontpack, put Jimmy on my hip, and had the girls walk beside me. It worked fine going in, but it was quite the sight seeing us all leave because I was also juggling ten hardbound children’s books! In the library, the girls happily busied themselves among the toys, puzzles and books. Jimmy watched them with interest, then joined in the fun, pulling books off the shelves, scattering puzzle pieces, and climbing on every piece of furniture in the children’s section. And of course he picked when the librarian was there shelving books to start joyfully flinging books over his head! But hey, he was still enjoying the books, right? Just in his own special way…
That outing reminded me of one of the first times I brought the girls to the library sans stroller. I have to say, the two of them wrought a lot less damage than one little Jimmy! Here’s a trip down memory lane to the library:
Oh my goodness…. I can barely wrangle my two toddlers! You are an inspiration:) I think Jimmy and Lily would be fast friends – I could imagine Lily doing the same exact things! Lily is also a “runner”, which makes outings very rare… lol!
