I took Jamie for his first proper trip to the library yesterday. He has now got his own borrowing card. I usually just wheel him in, in the pushchair and wheel him out, when I drop off my books, but today I asked about a card for him. We went into the children's section and I let him walk about by himself while I had a look at the books. This was ok to start with as Jamie and me were the only ones there, but then a mother and her son (aged 4ish) came and she started to read a book with him in the corner. Jamie was only being helpful; he kept taking over a book for them. Perhaps he was socialising. He has certainly begun to interact more with other children and adults lately and has begun to be so much more aware of things around him.
We now enjoy a nice stroll in the garden most days. Thankfully the weather is still nice enough for us to spend time outside. Jamie loves looking at all the plants that grow. At the end of the garden; around one of the benches, there are a number of dead plants and we always spend a happy few minutes intrigued at the touch and feel of the spikyness. Now that Jamie is a competent walker - although still a bit of a drunkard - it is also keeping mummy fit as she runs around the garden after him!
I picked out 4 books for Jamie before it got too chaotic and have already read a couple with him. He loves sitting on the sofa in his room while I read to him. He does get a bit impatient sometimes and asks for another book before I have finished - by pointing at the bookshelves - but I am firm and make sure I finish the first before starting on the next!
