"We're going to go on a date, mommy!" How totally sweet is that?
Jay was a rock star at the appointment (50.25" tall and 53 pounds!). Afterward, we headed out for a little lunch at a restaurant.
He ordered his own food, perfected the art of keeping your napkin on your lap, and learned some of the nuances of baseball while we watched the Little League World Series. He thoroughly enjoyed himself!
Then we headed to the big adventure of the afternoon...the library! He was in awe of all the books. (It was pretty awesome to see him so excited, too!)
He knew just what kind of books he wanted to find. He found one of the librarians and asked her to help him find books on Nascar racing.
As she led him to the shelves, she asked him whether he wanted to read stories or facts. The boy answered without even pausing -- he wanted facts, thank you very much!
He hit the mother load of books, clearly finding his version of heaven! He spent quite a long while selecting just the right ones to read. He found a table and got busy losing himself in the world of racing.
By the time we left, Jay had found himself several biographies of his favorite racers (Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Matt Kenseth) and had an armful of other books on Nascar wrecks, what happens in the pit, and the history of racing.
He even got himself his first library card!
He can't wait to go back again. It was a fantastic day and we had a lot of fun. :)
Next up - tomorrow is Shawn's turn for a date!
