Gracie's First Library Card

Gracie is an official card holder of our local library!

Taking the kids to the library is something I had been wanting to do for several weeks now, but I was waiting until Garren and I got our new driver's licenses, since we had to prove our residency.

You can add another helping of guilt on my mommy plate, since Gracie hadn't been the library since the months before Thomas was born--and Thomas had NEVER been.

Gracie and I looked forward to our trips to Stephen's City at least once a week or every other week. We would get books and go to story times, and special events.

Then, we had Thomas, and well...mommy didn't go anywhere any more!

But, that is behind us now.

Gracie has a library card, and Thomas had officially seen the inside of a library.

Gracie got a sticker signifying the special event, and Thomas ran around and around the place looking at all the stuffies and later finding the activities.

This library is considerably smaller than what we are used to, but it was filled with hands on activities for smaller ones. Well, I guess it for any age, but it is a great distraction for younger ones while older siblings search for the perfect books.

They both loved it.

And now that Gracie will soon start back to school, Thomas and I will get to go to story times at the library together as well.

On Tuesday mornings they host a "Mother Goose" story time for ages 6-24 months. I am assuming they are prepared for not very attentive listeners.

And, of course I was the goober mom taking pictures in the library of my children's milestones. Like you are surprised.
