Today's Trip to the Library

This morning Amelia and I went to the library. For the first time, she picked out her own book! She spied a book she wanted that was standing up on its own at the top of the shelves (they are only two shelves high) and asked, "Puppy dog book, please!" She then went around the shelves to the table and chairs where I helped her up. I dragged a chair from the other table to sit next to hear and read the story. She looked at me, made a pushing motion and said, "Mommy, down and play." Little Miss Independent wanted to read by herself at the library! I left my chair where it was, walked over to see if The Red Tent was in (it wasn't) and looked back a few times to see a smiling Amelia watching me. She is so fun.
