Library Testing

Took all three kids individually to the library today. That meant six round trips for me (how fun?) and 90 minutes going back, forth and reading. Interesting things I observed from my kids; GAIUS - only wanted to unload, open, shut then pile up and reload the books. ZAREK - Loved squealing at the pictures as usual but also wanted to get books out, sit on the chair, quickly look through them and then put them away ad infinitum. He did enjoy finding the cat on each page of slinky malinky with me though. AYLA - chose one or two books, plonked down on my knee and pointed at pictures going MOORWW and I would tell her the animal / name / colour / object and we would sort-of have conversations about them and she would show me more of the same to show she understood. So in conclusion - gaius doesnt feel like reading or having stories at the moment, zarek wanted to read alone and lead the activity and ayla wanted me to read with her and lead the activity. These are things it's easy to miss when at home we all look at books and read as a group!
