Library Chaos

So today was library day. Madie so looks forward to the morning when I ask her if she wants to go and see Mr. Mac. We didn't go last week and we've been only once since school was out and you can sure tell the difference. There are twice as many kids there, with twice as many moms and twice as loud. (I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet) It was so loud and kids were running around everywhere that I have no idea what story Mr. Mac told, I remember only a few songs (because we sing the same songs every week....accept for the solos Mr. Mac sings, which usually consists of 60's hippy song and he has his Grateful Dead--Uncle John's Band in heavy rotation). Puppet time is my favorite and Madie's too. She always finds this tiny ladybug puppet--(It must remind her of the day she ATE ladybugs at the library!)

I signed Madie up for the Summer Reading Program today. I know, she's not reading yet. But, she loves looking at books and having them read to her. She even pretends to read it to you when you finish reading to her. For the program, you keep a list of all the books you and your child read and them bring in your completed list to get library bucks/dollars (whatever, you get the idea) and they can spend their earned money in the library store. I thought it would be a fun thing for us to do. I wonder if you are able to count the same book more than once. Madie is in to repetition....if she likes something once, she likes it two, three or four times. I can see it now, our first list of books will be a full page of Dr. Seuss, Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You?
