Library time

I went to the library with just Smallest today. I can’t remember the last time I took her out on her own. Possibly to a swimming lesson? But now Tigerboy even comes along to them, as does Big,  as she’s got land training.

So, we went to the library because she wanted to go, and she was so overjoyed to get me to herself. She was the one with the shortest time as the baby, and I think she does sometimes feel hard done by.

We read 3 books while we were there. A Julia Donaldson/ David Roberts called the Troll. And then these.

On the way home it hailed on us, which was a bit excessive. She didn’t care. She just ran, holding my hand, and chattering anyway.

I must make more moments of time for her.
