It's been a while but we finally made it back to the library!!! We tried to go on Christmas Eve day, but they were closed, much to the kids's disappointment. The highlight of this visit was the NEW TRAIN TABLE!!! We spent over an hour at the library this afternoon and most of that time they boys were in front of the train table. The new table hosts Sir Topham Hatt in his car, Spencer (and tender!), Thomas, Percy, Lady, and a few generic trains. Koen and Ty were thrilled!
What thrilled me was what happened when we returned home. I ran upstairs to put a few things away and when I came down this is what I saw...
They sat like this for almost 20 minutes! Love it! It's amazing what a new book can do. Ironically, Koen came home with an assignment from school where he was supposed to count the number of books on his bookshelf. Seth helped him a little and we discovered the boys currently have 224 books on their book shelf! WOW!!! That's not counting the books in Brielle's room, downstairs, and those in the basement! We certainly are blessed with books!!! And yet the discovery of a new book is still exciting! Koen even read a book or two to Ty, but as soon as I came close he got quiet or stopped altogether. I'm not sure if he's shy or embarrassed to read in front of me or if it's something else. I'm just thankful they love to read, and I pray that love continues as they grow older!
