Hello & Happy 2017!
Today we took a trip to the library!
This has been a planned trip to take for a couple weeks, but I was feeling like being a lazy mama and opted to stay in when I planned to go.
We started out by breezing and walking through the aisles, I took Landon over to the children's section to let him check out the area. After walking through and touching and looking at a few books he picked out two.
We then proceeded to inquire how to get him an official library card which was a smooth process since he was already in the system from receiving his monthly free books the city had started last year for children ages birth to 5 yrs old.
So once I received his library card I got his two books checked out and we headed back to our private room.
I think this may be our new favorite place to visit! But of course I just have to get him to understand he can't be to noisy....
The only other problem is I hope I don't forgot to check the books back in; deep sigh! Because of course I haven't checked out books in years....and I literally mean years!

This is an absolutely amazing page! Thank you for sharing this young Kings' journey with us! I love it
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy!! I appreciate you checking out the blog today! Hoping you will continue to stop by time to time:-)
ReplyDeleteHe's such a big boy! I have been hesitant about taking my little guy (he's 6) to the library. I am afraid that he will be too noisy. But after reading your post, I think I am going to add it to our to do list before the summer is over. Thanks for sharing your journey. I am always encouraged after reading stories of other autism moms.
ReplyDeleteHi There!! Thanks for stopping by and glad to hear me sharing encouraged you. That's exactly what I want my readers to get from this blog...awareness and encouragement.
DeleteIt was definitely an experience, but I'm glad we tried it. Funny is I was originally there for a meeting, but since he loves books, I guess his curiosity came naturally and he wanted to explore. Sad to say, we haven't been back since; well stopped by to return the book.
Are you guys local? If so, I'd love to schedule a play date. That may be helpful. Would give them both a buddy to explore and read with.
I am planning a library trip for next week so we will see how it goes. Unfortunately, we are not local (we're in TN). It would have been nice to connect face to face.
DeleteOhh okay. I'm always looking to connect with new mommy pals who are local. But please share yalls library experience. I'm sure it will awesome!!
