One of my son’s favorite places to go is our library. It has a kids section with puzzles, computers, big bean bags, little couches, and small sized tables and chairs. It’s appealing to him because it was designed for kids his age. I like it because it not only has an area designed specifically for kids his age, but that it is someplace that we can go when the weather does not permit him to spend time outside. The other thing that I like about the library is that my entire family enjoys spending time there. It’s something that we can do as a family together and there is something for everyone.
I frequently borrow DVD’s from the children’s section of the library for my son. Borrowing allows me to have a good variety of things for him to watch without purchasing them at full price, although I can’t resist when I find a good video at the thrift store that I know he’ll watch. We can also pick up a few books that will keep his interest for a few days. The best part about the library though is that it allows my son to get out and stretch his legs from being cooped up in the house.
My husband went with us as well. He enjoys the music collection that is available at the library, and found a 6 CD set of Miles Davis which should keep him entertained for days. I always find myself gravitating to the organizing books. I am now more organized than ever, but I like to look at the pictures and wonder how a normal family actually lives an organized life with everything in its place. Such order. Immediately upon leaving the library I enter the due dates for my books in my phone as an appointment with a reminder so that I don’t miss the due date and have to pay late fees.
