It has long since been tradition for Kimmie to take the grandsons to the library. She started taking Kayden around age two, and Cameron joined the trips sometime this past fall. Every other week, just like clockwork, she loads up the kiddos and their books and heads for the public library for an afternoon of reading.
Kayden and Cameron are on a first name basis with the librarians. They exchanged gifts this past Christmas. This past summer, both boys won awards for reading over 100 books in the summer reading program. Two years ago, Kayden even talked Ms. Linda into coming to watch one of his baseball games! To say these boys are "big shots" at the library is a very true statement.
Today, on Dr. Seuss' birthday, Sam joined their ranks and went with
Kimmie and Pawpaw for his first library day experience.
He played with puzzles at the activity table. (Since the TV stations were all forecasting severe storms, they literally had the library all to themselves. Kimmie's not afraid of a little rain:)
He wandered the shelves filled with new books...
He picked out a book, and read it with Kimmie...
...and then Pawpaw. He never reads a book just once.
Then he checked out a few books for the road, and headed back home.
Just like his cousins, I think he's already hooked on library day! My thanks to Kimmie
and Pawpaw for continuing the tradition and including Sam. He's a very blessed little boy.
It is a blessing for me to have library day! We loved the one on one time with Sam. He was so interested in everything...all the books, colors, and textures. And of course the birds nesting in the eaves of the library! -Kimmie & Pawpaw
