Gonna get us some learnin'

We are off to the local library this morning. I love books but this is a bit of a strange thing for us. For a start the times we have borrowed books the boys have been in tears when we have had to give them back. Also, I'm not that good at remembering to give them back.

Disclaimer: I'm not depriving my boys of the joy of reading by not going to the library. These boys are happy reading the same book 4 times a day for months on end, I think our home library of hundreds of kids books is ample for them. By my maths if I give them 1 month to fixate on each book and guess at only 100 books that is enough books to see Lion through to highschool! I am guessing he will be wanting to move beyond "Where is the Green Sheep?" by then.

Today is also a fact finding mission... 12 months ago our two "twin cities" amalgamated and we had to take on their name I am hoping we didn't also take on their policy of overdue fees at the library, you know because of that whole forgetting to return them thing. So today I will ask questions.

Still not the reason we are actually going though. We need to find a book on a mummy with a baby in her tummy. Dragon needs some answers.

Thank goodness it's not "how did it get there?" or anything I don't want to answer just yet. We just have to deal with his little concern about mummy having a shower.

I was in the shower and Dragon got a bit upset and started trying to stop the water running over my tummy.

"NO! Baby will get wet!"

It could be a long few months if I'm not allowed to take showers!
