Infant lap sit at the library

This summer the girls and I have taken full advantage of the library and it's free programs they offer. At the Red Mountain library they have "toddler time" and at the Main library they have "infant lap sit". Every week in June we have been at both branches and the girls have had the time of their life's.

We sing songs and read books, and play games. The girls can play with other kids their age and I can visit with other moms. There is even a mom at one of the groups that also has twins and we have swapped stories and advice. They have arts and craft time and at one of them they have a big parachute. the girls love it.

Some moms even bring their tiny little ones, which Pepper is always happy to point out that there is a baby.

Izzy has learned how to point. She points at the kids and points at the toys and points where she wants to go. She was pointing at my phone when I took this picture but then a little girl started laughing and she turned and took off to go play again.

For the most part they loved playing with their strollers. In the big room they have set aside for toddler time, they can push them all over and they also like playing with the straps. Sometimes I have to fold up and put them away or they won't join the group and play.

They have puzzles and Pepper had a blast trying to "help" this little boy figure out how to put it together. He kept saying "no baby" to her and trying to get her to leave him alone. (I have decided every kid needs a twin)

Izzy played on this thing for an hour!

She didn't want to stop.

and she kept going . . .

and going . . .

and going!

Finally, she found the books!

Both the girls loved grabbing a book and bringing it to me to read. They only let me read half of the first page though and then they were off to find a different book.

Love that we found this fun, out of the heat, summer activity for us to do this summer. More then anything, I love that my girls even at this young age, love going to the library. Hopefully, I can teach my girls to have a love for reading and books, but for now I think this is a great start.
