library day

This afternoon I took Grant and Calli to the library. We've been to busy to read most of our books at home so I just said we'd read some at the library today for a while. I sat in the kids section and told Grant to pick out a storybook. He of course complains. He hates storybooks. He likes science books. I sat with Calli trying to read as she just kept turning the pages like she always does. After a few minutes Grant is still gone and I'm thinking I may need to look like I'm supervising him. I look around the kids section. No Grant. I sit back down to gather Calli and go find him and then here he comes from the other side of the library carrying the LARGEST book he could carry.

Last time we went I took him to the reference section with me to look for a cook book and he found a giant ocean encyclopedia. He remembered this time where is was and hunted it down all by himself. Good grief kid! So we sat on the kiddy couch learning about clams and hatchet fish, and flat worms. Oh this book has it all! He has officially read all the elementary school books on cephalopods and sharks anyway, might as well go for the encyclopedia! So this I guess is on Grant's Christmas list for the Morton Aunts and Grandparents who love to buy book he enjoys: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0756636922/ref=rdr_ext_tmb

It's 512 pages of pure little boy excitement - well maybe 395 pages - the maps aren't his favorite.
