Well, summer's on! On Tuesday, I took the Lone Star Baby to the library for the big kick-off of the Summer Reading Club! She's ready to be a Little Listener, so we got her a reading log to record the books we read to her. When she gets ten books, she gets her name on the wall - we're doing that today - then she gets a shiny star (I know! Wow!) next to her name for every ten books after that. Also, there will be weekly storytimes and crafts and special events - a reader-mom's mawkish heaven, frankly. Don't make fun of me... we all have our eccentricities, you know.
The Lone Star Girl's summer swim team, the Collier Piranhas, also got started on Tuesday. She goes to swim practice for an hour a day, sometimes two if she wants to go to morning and evening - she'll be getting in great shape. She's doing super for someone who barely swam all school year and is already at the head of her age level for breast stroke, which surprised me, because she hasn't been much of a fast swimmer before, she always just liked it.

I love it that your library has the "Little Listener" category. Both our library systems have it so that all ages can participate, but it would be cool to have a "Little Listener" label.
