Sweetness got. . . .

Big things seem to be happening around here, one event happened at the beginning of February.  To you and me it may not be that big of an event, but for a certain little girl it was HUGE!  In honor of her turning four she got her own library card!

 I did not say, pose for your mug shot.

When Mr Wade asked if she could sign her own name, without hesitation she proclaimed YES!  I was skeptical, she knows how to write all her letters and knows all the letters for her name, but until this moment she had never shown interest in actually writing out her name, in full, straight across.  She would write all the letters in random order around the page.  But we handed her the pen and she did it!  I guess she just needed motivation.

Once she was done, she turned to me with a big grin and said, "I put a 2 for the R".  It was intentional on her part.  It did get crowded at the end, but she squeezed each letter in.

The library actually allows kids of all ages to have their own card.  Sweetness is the only one of our kids who has their own card.  Since we use the library bus, it has limited selection of books.  So I am always adding books, CDs, movies and such on our reserve list.  Each library card can only have 15 items reserved at a time. Now I can reserve 30 items at a time.  Then the first Thursday of the month, we meet the library bus near our home, pick up what we have reserved that is available, maybe pick out an extra book or two, and turn in our books from last month.  Being able to have the books for a month is wonderful!
