This year she is going to a drop off story and craft time. She is getting really into it. Every week she brings home her name tag and adds it to her collection. Her teacher always makes cute creative name tags so she has accumulated quite a collection. She also loves to explore the library and find just the right book to bring home. Below are a couple that actually describe Maya almost better than I could.
Maya can be very out going, funny, and lively but when a new situation full of lots of people comes her way she basically curls up into a ball. This book (to the left) is a great one for describing kids and their emotions etc. It is a good fun easy read! 
Ponyella, on the other hand, takes all Maya loves, pony's and princesses, and combines it into one fun story. I had to read and renew this book over and over again. When I finally returned it to the library I told Maya it needed a rest and wanted to go home. Home being the library. To which she replied, "we should give it a blanket and pillow so it can take a nap."
While Maya is at her story time Mercy and I enjoy exploring the toys and learning centers set up around the children's section of the library. It seems like no matter how many times we go there's always something new Mercy gets out of it. A new skill she picks up, a new word she learns from a book, or a new fear she discovers mommy has as she disappears around a corner and it takes 20 minutes to find her.
Where would I be without the library! It is a great place to find adventure and escape the never ending cold weather we have here in Evanston.
