Maida's First Public Library Visit

in the skyway

A friend invited Maida and I to go see a small snippet of A Midsummer Night's Dream ballet at the public library a few Saturdays ago.  We had never been to the public library, so we were very excited to go!  We went a little early so that we could have time to navigate our way through the skyways from the parking ramp and arrive in plenty of time to look around the library before the ballet.  We walked around a bit and ran into our friends who we were supposed to be meeting there.  After a quick trip to the bathroom, we quickly found our seats in the auditorium.

Maida refused to sit in the front row with our friend's daughter, but I didn't mind her sitting on my lap too much.  It's not very often these days that she gets uninterrupted mommy time!  I loved watching her face as she watched the ballerinas.  Most of them were her age and she was really encouraged and determined after the show that she was going to be a ballerina this year, too!

 After the show, Maida picked out one book for us to read together in the corner on a comfy chair and then we headed back since Daddy was one-handing the boys at home by himself and we didn't want to leave him for too long.  We are super excited to go back to the library sometime soon and maybe even get our own library card so we can check out books and movies and participate in all kinds of fun activities!
