Day 62 | Library Auditions: Take two

It's a short walk and the story time is actually pretty good. Chase seems to really enjoy it. Maybe it's just the fact that he's older but he's so much more comfortable and focused during this story hour. He approaches the librarian without hesitation, gets smooches from the stuffed rabbit, Benjamin, that she uses, and follows along with the dances and songs. They even have choo-choo books (Thomas, specifically) on the shelf...always a hot commodity at the Hill libraries.
To top it off, Chase and Robbe completed their first challenge today. They both took on the DC Library Summer Reading Challenge. We needed to check off eight out of 16 items in three months to complete it. Both boys managed this accomplishment by day two. Some of the tasks? Ask a librarian for help finding a book (we're looking for train books, obviously), attend a library program (story time!), sing a song about animals (all day, everyday), practice turning pages (more of a challenge for Robbe), etc. Each of the boys won a book for completing the challenge, Robbe got a rubber duckie, and Chase got a free kids meal to Chipotle (??). Quite the haul!
