At the Library

Geez, I don't post for about three weeks and then I post three days in a row! :) Hopefully people are keeping up with me and my sporadic blogs. :)

So I just had to share something funny that happened at the library on Monday. Brenna and I went for our tri-weekly library day and Monday they did not have the story time or anything (not sure why?). Well I didn't want to waste a trip to the library, since we were already there, so we turned in our books and proceeded to look for more to take home. With Brenna this is a very long process and takes forever! She is very picky about the books that she chooses. So we finally get a stack of about 15 books and make our way to a table to "decide which books are good enough to check out" *eye roll*. It's very cute...really. :) So we are there at the table and Brenna sees this baby who is smiling at her and making noises. Of course she wants to go say hi and asks me so I tell her that it is okay. I do not have a problem at all with her going up to people and making conversation as long as she is with me - and she knows this. She is a VERY friendly little girl. The baby is with her Mom and her other little girl. After introducing herself and talking with the older girl, the Mom asks her what grade she is in and of course she goes on to say that she will be in Kinder and that her Mom is going to homeschool her. The Mom looks at me with a big smile and tells me that she is going to homeschool her oldest as well and proceeds to gather her things and come over to our table. As this was going on I overhear the conversation between Brenna and the other little girl:

Brenna: "So how old are you?"
Girl: "I'm 5 years old."
Brenna: "Wow! What a coincidence! I'm 5 too!"
Girl looks at Brenna and then looks at her Mom with wide eyes: "Wow Mom! This girl is really smart!!!"

Oh my gosh, it was HILARIOUS! You really should have seen the look on that little girl's face when Brenna used her "big word". To be honest, I felt very proud. :) I guess me speaking to her like an adult and doing the 'word of the week' thing really pays off. :)
Anyway, it was nice though meeting another homeschool Mom. We talked a little and she asked me all kinds of things about homeschooling. She had not done much reading about it and had just decided to do it so all of my studying really paid off just in that one conversation. I think I might have over-whelmed her a bit. haha! We exchanged phone numbers though and will get the girls together to play and we can visit as well. It is so nice meeting other Moms who are going to homeschool. Someone told me not too long ago that the library is probably a really good place to meet other parents who homeschool - especially once school starts and you go during school hours. With Brenna being as friendly as she is I am sure that we will meet tons of new people. :)
