When Elijah crawls up to a book shelf and starts touching the books, we just watch and remain in stand by mode. When he starts licking my The Bread Bible book, we discourage him. But when the books start getting pulled off the shelf and thrown on the floor, Daddy takes the baby away, saying, "You can't check these books out, you don't have a library card!"
Not any more! Elijah now does have a library card! In order to sign him up for baby story time (called Baby Business), our local city library requires that the child have their own library card. Now the only person in the family without one is Daddy.
We attended the first half hour session this morning. We sang songs, recited nursery rhymes, had story time and made a craft. OK, Mommy really made the craft (a three-piece snowman that had to be glued together and then decorated with stickers), but Elijah helped chew on it. And, while all other children were contentedly sitting in their mothers' laps during most of the time, Elijah felt compelled to crawl around non-stop.
