More Thursday Fun

Our days are always busy and we always try to have fun. After her nap, we went to the pool for an hour and a half. That was nice & cooling.

Then we came home and each ate a ton of fruit before leaving for the library. Today was the book fair where the kids could turn in their sheets for the first time and got to pick out a brand new book to keep. Isabel picked out Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Why we don't already own that classic, I don't know, but we do now finally. Plus they gave us a few other books, which was a surprise. We stayed at the library for quite a while and had our own storytime, just her & mommy & some girl who kept popping over to listen in.


Then we headed on over to Central Park for the next Thursday night concert. It was the Owatonna Community Band again. This time they were playing songs from American composers. I couldn't absorb much of when they would talk because I was busy watching Isabel. She listens & dances in between playing. we brought along some bubbles & chalk again and because she was willing to share, she became fast friends with a group of 5 girls that were probably ages 6-9. She had a good time with them and did a good job interacting with them. It was nice to see more kids at this concert and Isabel has certainly learned not to be shy around other kids she is interested in. And she did a great job sharing, I didn't even have to prompt her.

Actually, at the pool today she was sharing her toys with 3 girls that were a couple years older than her and she was very proud of herself for sharing w/o prompts. She kept telling me "I'm sharing mom. I'm a good sharer. They like that I am sharing with them." At 3 years old it is pretty amazing that she is willing to share & does it without prompts. I am very proud of her.
