I have recently returned from a week spent babysitting my grandson. He's a 2 1/2 year old bundle of energy. He loves trucks, blocks, his neighborhood parks, grocery shopping, Bob the Builder DVDs, cooking (especially baking), and even being read to. We enjoyed reading Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama books, Good Night, Good Night Construction Site by Sherry Rinker, and many other books. We visited the library together, and it was fun to see how much he enjoyed everything about that visit, from pressing the button to open the front door to getting in the elevator and picking the floor for the children's room to selecting what books he wanted.
It's always good to be back home, but I do miss seeing the joy he takes in every little thing. It's easy to take our libraries and parks for granted, but seeing them through the eyes of a small child brings home how important these amenities can be to families.
