Rainy Day

Oh goodness...before I write about our weekend I must first recount todays library experience (as if I didn't learn anything from last week's). Anyhow, we decided to try another storytime at a different library with our friends Jenny and Harper in the rain. We ventured out and made it before storytime started (not knowing how strict they would be on the time...a little more lax at this library). Anyhow, I let Eli go look at books and another librarian informs me storytime is starting...and I said that I had to go over there right when they started reading a book....she wanted me to go there then...so I did...well, Eli was not going to sit still while they did the rules on cd....so, before she was able to start reading a book we were out of the kid's section of the library because he wasn't going to do it (again, I might add that this was the same librarian from our trip to a different library last week...and to top it off Eli looks like he is 2 even though he is not and his ability to stay seated for a thirty minute storytime is a huge thing to ask....you could tell she wasn't real thrilled to see us back for this particular storytime). Jenny and Harper were late so we were able to meet them in the foyer. Good news (in a twisted way) Harper did not want to sit for storytime either (I say twisted b/c at least it wasn't just Eli)....so, she got a library card and some books and we left....so we saw each other for about twenty minutes and came home. Yet another memorable trip to the library...not sure you will hear any of these for awhile b/c I am not sure he is ready for storytime....deep breath....on my way out I am trying to hold onto Eli and get him in the car...all while the umbrella snapped backwards and I am trying to catch Eli (b/c he doesn't like to be held...but I hold him when we are in the parking lot)...thankfully Jenny helped...it was crazy....I wish I had a picture to document this...but unfortantly I do not...I was soaked...Eli had a jacket on so he was fine...I just had to remove it before he got in his seat...we are back at home where we will remain. If he only realized how exhausted I am by 1! He is sleeping soundly now! More crazy stories to come I'm sure. I realize that though we won't be going back to the library for awhile we are grateful that these opportunites do exist and we will try them again at a later time.
