The Library

The library is one of Spencer's very favorite places. I promised Spencer that we would go this morning but by the time we made it there, he had fallen asleep in the car. He was very upset to open his eyes and discover that we were back at home instead of at the library as promised. Needless to say, Spencer did not feel like drifting back off to sleep.

Realizing that a promise is a promise, I put Spencer in the stroller and headed off to the Culver City Library. His favorite library with the park out front is closed for renovations so this would have to do. We headed to the children's section where we curled up together with a few books and read several stories over and over. The fresh air and reading must have done him good because back at home, fortified by a snack, he finally napped for nearly three hours, awaking a refreshed and affectionate little boy once more.
