How do babies react when you say you’re taking them to the library?
Like this.
Ruby remained perplexed by the whole “library thing” even as we pulled up to the spectacular Rem Koolhaas glass-and-steel structure.
I do not think she understood any of the concepts I explained in the car.
Big building. Lots of books. We borrow. You read. No biting.
As you can see, I obviously got over my paranoia about the whole Germs on Books factor.
Even though this was NOT her aisle, Ruby patiently and quietly toured the Big People shelves with Mom and Dad before going to the children’s section.
Only someone like Jay would make a stop in an aisle populated with books titled, “Complete Plywood Handbook.”
Finally, just as the whining began, we made it to the children’s floor.
Ruby practised her splits while we scoured the shelves for Rubytastic books.
We tried reading her a few books.
This one did not pass the Rubytastic Test.
(It amused Mom more than it did Ruby.)
Mission accomplished. The haul for the day?
Eleven books.
Bonus mission accomplished. The status of the baby?
Asleep.
oh! so adorable! ruby didn’t fuss while in the library? she didn’t cry? what a good baby!
u’re looking fab, dot!
i think ruby might be talented in gymnastics / ballet. u reckon? heh.
I loved the Seattle library
I hope Ruby will grow up to adore it too!
The library in Seattle looks great! I have to carefully inspect and select the books from the children’s section each time I go to the library..esp books for babies/younger children!
how does Ruby keep her hair up in the air like that?? i need to learn that too.
and dot: nice coat.
Her hair – ALL NATURAL!
