Celebrating Milestones


July 23, 2009


Two very important milestones were celebrated today:

1. Emily’s very own library card!! We finally got to the point where all of her books were cutting into my quota. Having a card of her own means she can check out plenty of materials, teaches valuable lessons in responsibility, and promotes lots of free and educational experiences. We are very excited!
and
2. Clara’s first scribbles!!


She uses this triangular crayon set from Melissa and Doug. These crayons don’t roll off the table, are easy to draw with, and difficult to break. She loves them!

    Even as an adult I get excited about a new library card if I've moved to a new town! I have a Melissa & Doug chunky puzzle and my kids love it. I'll have to check out the crayons!

    :) That's great! I love that she has her own library card. I was recently thinking about that for my two middle children. The oldest has one already.

    I love those crayons! That's so smart. I was sold when you said they don't roll of of the table. I look forward to seeing more of her scribbles.

    Such fun milestones! Your girls are so lucky to have a mommy that appreciates each step in their development.

    Congratulations to Emily!! I used to daydream about my (then unborn) son getting his first library card. I'm such a dork. Definitely a fun milestone! We have those crayons and love them too.
