Tiny Dancer had 'Dance Camp' this morning and as soon as she was through we headed to the public library for "Magic and Puppets with Dr. Tom." Dr. Tom was a little goofy but the kids loved him. I guess I didn't really go for myself so it didn't matter what I thought.
Tiny Dancer was very brave and sat on the front row all by herself. She would look back occasionally to make sure Baby Sister and I were still in the room with her.
I was excited that she really got into his act and was participating and raising her hand to help. She never got called on but that was probably a good thing. She can be shy when she wants to be.
Soon as the show was over we went to the other side to check out a few books.
Baby Sister ended up with her "Mina" aka pacifier. She's really good about not using it during the day and only at night. She found it in my purse during the Magic show and there was no getting it away from her with out weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth during the show.
She enjoyed her book.
Then went for another one.
She had to have another one too "Silent Movies"
If you are looking for free summer entertainment (in air conditioning) for kids of all ages check into your public library. I took my boys from the time they were 18 months. They had a once a week story time when they were that little. I took them every summer for the reading programs. Starting them off early to love reading. Now I'm taking the GRAND~girls.
We only read 5 books today. Some days it's close to 20 depending on the attention span.
If you live here in Brunswick check out the June Calendar here.

What a great idea to do with kids during the summer!
Looks like grandma is having fun! My grandkids come this weekend....all 6 of them and dang I'm excited. We may do the library thing if they stay past the weekend.
You are totally an awesome grandma I can tell.
I LOVE the library, not only for the children but for myself! When we moved to this town, I had to check out the library first. It passed!
What fun your Grand Girls must have with you and I think you have fun with them. They're adorable. I love their matching dresses!
I love the library in the summertime!
I'm a big reader too and am getting the grand-boy on that train. Libraries are awesome. You rock with those Grand-girls....I can tell. Blessings, SusanD
A fun good time,
Love,
papa
Looks like all three of you had a wonderful time at the library. What a coincidence too, I dropped off and picked up at our library. The grandgirls look so beautiful in their summer dresses!
How fun. I love the simple places that we can go and have the best times. I think you are the one having the most fun though.
Love the library. I usually make a point of going every week when the girls are on track break. I've never taken the boys for story time though, I need to do that.
Love those adorable matching flowered dresses, and of course the adorable little girls wearing them--TOO CUTE!!
Do you celebrate at each milestone, like when Big Grand sat there all by her self?
Libraries these days are great. I don't buy books, I either borrow or buy those rejected books from the library for $1. I tell the kids, what's the point when you read it just once. LOl
Ah The pacifier, that's another long story. My older two didn't have one. Sam was introduced to it by his nanny, and soon, I needed one upstairs, one downstairs, and one in my bag. Luckily he graduated by himself, once I lied, and said, I could not find it, and he just said Oh. I was so relieved.
