Years ago story time at our local library was such an ingrained part of our week, but since the years have passed it has been something that has kind of gone by the wayside. We’ve hit it here and there but nothing consistent like in the past.
This year I have purposed to once again make it a staple in our week. Instead of viewing it as something to do “if” we have time I am looking at it as part of school for my little ones. We quit going as my last batch of little ones started outgrowing it and losing interest. My newest batch of little ones LOVES it! It takes a bit a determination on my part to get out of the house and go. It has also taken a bit a managing of sorts to juggle the boys math class and piano lessons which take place at the same time. Fortunately we have a great piano teacher that comes to our home and doesn’t mind teaching my little ones first so we can run out the door to make it on time to story time.
The last two years I have really gotten away from the “fun” stuff with school. I’ve turned into a “let’s just get this done and over with mom”, you know, the no fluff kind of gal. I saw Lolly start out so enthusiastic for school and watched that enthusiasm get snuffed out fast. I’m working hard at changing that and also not making the same mistakes with the newest enthusiastic kindergartener. It takes a bit of bending and sacrifice on my part but they are so worth it! \
