Story Time

Today was the first Story Time of Winter/Spring 2012.

Our library does "semester" type story times, meaning they do 2-3 months at a time, then break for 1-2 months.

It works out great because we get a little break and every one is excited to start back.

Brady moved up to the three year old class today.

The only difference is the books are a little longer, the songs are different, and they added a craft.

Brady was so so so excited to start back!

He loved the craft, but was a little thrown off by the new songs and different kids. He was a little more bashful than usual and clingy. He half way participated.

I forgot my camera, but here is a picture of him when we got home.

He always wants to check out a movie. Today, he picked Bob the Builder.

The theme today was about polar bears, so we all made polar bears. He loves to glue so he loved this project.

The polar bear lost an ear while I was trying corral Brady to stop running and pulling out books, while looking for a particular book to check out. I didn't find it and I accidentally bit my lip while looking. So polar bear also has some blood on his white fur. You would not believe how much it bled.

We finally made it home with Bob the Builder,  bloody lip, the one eared, bloody polar bear, 2 tummys growling,  and no book for mommy. Ha Ha!  

That is just the way it goes sometimes.

We love our library and our story time, even if we are a little crazy sometimes. We always return. It is good for Brady to learn to sit, listen, and interact. It is completely free. It gives us something to do each week that is close to home. So despite the crazy, it is worth it.

The good always outweighs the bad.

I also just found a smiley face sticker on my stomach. I am certain that was there while we were at the dollar store. Oh well.

Story Time Tuesday

I realize it is Thursday, but Tuesday we attended our first Story Time at the local library. The first one was last week, but I was out of town so we missed it.

When we left, Brady told me he "wiked that wady". (liked that lady) I told him that is good, because we will be coming here every Tuesday until Christmas. We spent some time reading books and playing with the toys after story time.

Then, we headed out to look for Brady a Halloween costume and grab some lunch, since we were out. He has consistently wanted to be Buzz Lightyear, but I wasn't crazy about the cheap Buzz costume and the one from Disney was $45. I did NOT want to pay that much for a Halloween costume. I thought we would get out and he could pick one in person.

(I forgot it was Fall Break. Chicken Fil-A, as Brady calls it, was packed!)

He decided on Spiderman and it was only $17, so we got it. I really wanted him to get the super cute monkey or the adorable airplane, but I was overruled. Spiderman was cheaper anyway. I think my days of having an opinion are numbered. How can that be?

He LOVES his costume and even wore it to nap time when we got home, so I guess it is worth it not being my pick. Now I just hope that $17 costume lasts until Halloween. ; )
