The Public Library

We finally took Harper to the Johnston Library to check out a few books. Harper loves to read - she spends a lot of time playing with books at school and at home. We typically read 3 or 4 books every night before bed and she will sit down with a book and read to herself during the day. Since it's been so hot lately, we figured the library was a good idea. We prepped Harper before going in - you have to be quiet at the library and you have to listen to mom and dad. She did very well for her first visit. She walked around and admired all the board books and checked out the puppets and stuffed animals. We looked at a few books while we were there, but mainly Harper was entertained by the surroundings. She kept telling us, "Shhhh. Quiet." We brought home three books which she very much enjoyed reading over the next week. Since our original trip, we've been to the library again. If you mention the word, she immediately says, "Quiet." and puts her finger up to her lips to "shhhhhush" you. It's cute.
