To the Library

This morning Camilla and I ventured out in the -10 temperatures and walked to the library. The sky was blue and the sun was out. It was a great walk! We thought that Sing, Sign, Laugh and Learn was going on today, but they changed it. We still stayed at the library for a little while checking things out though. Camilla got her very first library card today!

Her favorite part at the library was sitting in this 'boat'. Above it is a large fish tank and we enjoyed watching them swim and counting them. Camilla will count to three all on her own, and with a little help she can make it to ten! I say "Four" she'll say "Five". I say "Six" she'll say "Seben". We say "Eight" together. She repeats "Nine" after I say it, and then jumps to "TEN!". Super fun! The Library has such a great program for toddlers. Her card was free, and she got a free book along with it! They had about 10 to choose from and she went through a couple and finally settled on "All Fall Down". She hugged it close to her and wouldn't give it up. We also got to pick what saying we wanted on her card. I thought "I'm happy and I know it" was well suited as that is her favorite song right now.

After a half hour of looking at books, watching the fish, and picking an Elmo movie we decided to bundle up and head for home. Camilla stayed in the stroller for half of the ride, and then walked up our street to the house. She's still on her "Bye-Bye" everything kick, but her new thing today is "O0oO! PRETTY...(something)!"

"O0oO! PRETTY...hair!" When I did her hair this morning.

"O0oO! PRETTY...fish!" When she saw her fish this morning. 

It's super funny to listen to her expressions and the words she chooses to use. It will be fun to read our new books today!
