Wordless Wednesday

The older I am the more I appreciate Family Circus:

Wordless Wednesday: Reading With Great-Grandpa

My daughter is blessed to have five (out of eight) great-grandparents.

Here she is with my grandfather (paternal side) reading The Pokey Little Puppy.

Wordless Wednesday: The Family Circus

The older I get the more I realize how realistic and applicable The Family Circus is. This was in Sunday's paper (7/25/10)

Wordless Wednesday: New Library Update

As you may recall a few months back I posted a picture of our local library during the destruction phase (see Our Library). Here's an updated photograph as they have begun construction on the new building. It will be six times the size of the old building. Completion is set for early spring 2011.

Wordless Wednesday: Corduroy Visits

Corduroy came to visit our library this week.

He played games.

And the children loved it!

My daughter loved him.

She gave him lots of hugs and tried to kiss his nose.

She sat on his lap twice.

It was a very special day.

Ever since I was a child I've loved Corduroy stories. You can read my review of the original Corduroy here (it's the last of three in that post).

Wordless Wednesday: Bookworm in Training

Sorry for the hazy image. It was just too cute to pass up.

Wordless Wednesday: Reading at Barnes & Noble

Just a quick post today since I'm buried in To-Do's for work. This was from yesterday afternoon. We had an outing to the mall complete with a visit to B&N and some book browsing. Have you ever noticed how good B&N stores smell? I love ours, a mix of coffee and books scents in the air.

Wordless Wednesday: Storytime With Her Baby

My daughter reading Itty Bitty by CeCe Bell. This library book is a definite favorite. We've had to renew it and then check it out after returning it. We're on week three with this book and heading into week four. Too bad there aren't more stories about Itty Bitty.

My Daughter Mine

Sorry for the dark image. This is how I found my daughter in the back seat when we arrived home one evening this week. Yes, she was reading in the dark. Not sure how much she could see. I envision I will be buying one of those portable reading book lamps when she is old enough to read so she can read on car trips.

Wordless Wednesday

On Sunday after church I went to my daughter's classroom. Most of the other two and three year-olds were playing "Simon Says" with the teacher, but my daughter wasn't amongst them. Then I saw her little feet peaking from behind a rocking chair. She was in the corner reading books. When I told her it was time to go home she replied, "No. I want to read books!"

She is her mother's daughter through and through.

Wordless Wednesday

On Monday during story time a special guest paid a visit to our local library, Max of the Max and Ruby books by Rosemary Wells.

Wordless Wednesdays: How to Pass the Time While Riding in a Car

Unfortunately she stopped "reading" when I started taping. (Video: 19 seconds long, taken 6/1/09)

Wordless Wednesday: A Young Reader

Normally I try to post a photo that is book related as a "Wordless Wednesday" post, but the other day I found a 20 second video clip of my daughter reading from back in late March. Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday

I haven't gotten much reading in this week, and here's why. My little girl has been sick.
