what was i waiting for?

Why did I wait this long to get Isabelle a library card? MOM FAIL Well she has one now! We've done story time at our library just once before. Due to it being at 11, prime nap time, I never really pushed it. Now that Isabelle is getting older 11 is doable. So off we went with her new girlfriend, and my friend to story time. The children were read three stories about mom's and did a cute Mother's Day project. A neat perk about living so close to Mexico is they always tie in some type of tradition or story with Mexican tradition or history. The library is only 2 miles down the road so it's going to be a fun place to go to when it's just too hot out in the afternoon's. They also have these small neat computers for kids with learning games; shapes, numbers, etc... I am sure by the time we leave El Paso in July Isabelle will be working the mouse and clicking like a pro. Baby steps right? My girlfriend (why is it I always meet a great mom/friend just before we leave?) Rachel has 2 daughters. The oldest is just 4 months older than Isabelle, and her baby is just a month older than Lydia. So we are going to soak up this last month or so before they leave with as many play dates as we can. There is this fun children's author she introduced me to 'Mo Willems.' Isabelle rented two of his books and they are a riot. We will be on the lookout for more books by Mo Willems soon. Tonight we read I broke my trunk! and Happy Pig day. Check out his books if you have toddlers-you'll enjoy them. Happy Tuesday!
