Read All About It

One of my and Ava’s most treasured routines is our every-two-weeks trip to the Huntingburg Library. From the moment I opened an account there and Ava realized the purpose of this castle-like brick building, she has adored the library. Although at first she was a bit shy and slow to participate, she now feels like an honorary visiting dignitary each time we arrive. With her head thrown back proudly, her arms swinging in her own little rhythm, she walks through the double doors, past the central counter, and into the children’s area. Once there, she first peruses the available DVDs, usually coming away with something princess-themed. Then it’s on to the bookshelves, where she meticulously selects her 5-10 books for that trip. We then stack these books on the single existing children’s table, where we read through them together to make sure Ava has made the appropriate choices.

Then it’s home with our goodies for endless reading fun!
