A Reader's Wonderland!

Sunday started off really wet and dreary. It had been raining for hours, when Charly finally woke up from a deep sleep, at 11am. Now we couldn't go to the park, like we had planned. So, while she's trying to wake up, she has a couple of waffles, for lunch.
Well, about that time, my litter terror monkey, I mean Kenna, was starting to get tired. So, I decided it was time for nap. I couldn't handle anymore of the howls, squeals and screams over absolutely nothing. Phew. She was asleep in minutes. Thank goodness. Charly really wanted to go do something.
Since we couldn't all go do something, with Miss Kenna was sleeping, Brian (my wonderful husband), decided it was time that he and Charly have some time together. So, they hopped in the car, and off to the library they went. Charly has never been to a real library, like it's own building with TONS of books, movies and other exciting new things. She has been to the tiny library at her elementary school...so she had a basic understanding when they got there.
But, it was a whole new level of awesomeness to Miss Charly. Brian said she was in heaven. They walk in, and apply for their library cards. She even had to sign her card. Then, their off, searching for what to bring home. Brian said he had to talk Charly out of bringing home every single child's DVD they had.  Brian said that she enjoyed every minute of the experience; the signing up for a card, looking for books and movies she wanted to bring home, and even the checking out. While at the library, she almost completely read one of the books that she brought home. She also read it while in the car, on the way home. And, within 5 minutes of getting home, she had finished reading the book, and moved on to the next one. So, after almost 2 hours in the library, she came home with 4 books, and 2 DVDs, and 1 giant smile!

A special thank you to my husband for taking her to the library, and snapping this picture of her!
