Loving La Library

This is our awesome new library! It has been built since we lived in Greenfield. We love going there for story time, books, or just to play! Yay!





Claire models her stroller. I think this is her first picture without the baby "pumpkin seat" carrier. She is getting so big!





We even bought a brick for their sidewalk. We don't get to keep it though! ;) We ordered this before Claire or B.C. Hey, that works for Before Children, too!

For some reason, ours is really light, or maybe it's because it's under the really dark one!

I love library. I wanted to be a librarian when I was little! So I chose the English/German areas to satisfy that craving.

I love the way books smell. I love the stacks. I seriously am a dork taking my camera to the library to take pictures. Yay for bookworms! Proud to be a dork! (Hey, I got to go to college for free because of my dorkiness, so I can't complain.)

Claire always makes a beeline for the puzzles in the play area. She LOVES all the little pieces.

Sadly, these indoor library photos are over-exposed because of all the huge windows, but they'll have to do for now. I felt weird taking pictures in there and plus I didn't want anybody to think I was randomly stalking their children.

She will dump out every single puzzle if I let her. As at home, she will dump out every single toy from the bins, clear every item off the bookshelves within reach, as well as the coffee tables. I know the best is yet to come...

The Children's area is pretty sweet. They have this big pirate ship play area as well as a nice solid wooden play house and a big lego block table in addition to bins of various toys.

Claire loves the fish tank. She points and claps and squeals. When I hold her up, she wants to smack the glass. I think they need more fish. They look like they have room for more.

Claire can now stand up and down very steadily now and remaining standing for about 5-10 seconds. She can walk really good behind her walker/pushtoy.
