Storytime

Jakey and I have a standing Wednesday engagement with Miss Sue at the library for storytime.



His best homegirl Anna goes then, too. I'm pleased as punch that Anna's mom and I can take advantage of breaks in the action to gossip and plan future get-togethers, but unfortunately Jake could care less. He mostly wants to sit reclined against me as though I were an armchair and listen quietly to everything that comes out of Miss Sue's mouth. When he's not busy wielding his glue stick, that is.



Today's stories were about manners, so for our craft we made a paper plate guy who's using a hanky to cover his mouth when he sneezes.



Just before I took this picture, Jake pointed his finger at me and said "Here, Mommy." Adorning his fingertip was a freshly harvested nose nugget. At least the boy says his pleases and thank-yous.
