Today is MLK day which means I get the day off AND Peanut gets the day off as well. We had a blast today because there aren't many days where we both get off and everything is open.
I rushed peanut out of the house by 8:30. I think she would have been perfectly content to watch another episode of Sesame Street, but by 8:00 I was feeling itchy to start the day. We went downtown, but the library wasn't opened yet, so we swung by peanuts new school. It was back to the glistening I remember it being. Peanut did not want to go into the room. She kept telling me she wanted to go home. We did get to meet some people and I think she enjoyed it. She kept telling me all day how she said bye to her new teacher.
Next up was the library. I am a little embarrassed to say my child has never been to the library. It was nice, but I don't think we were missing much. It is amazing to me how unfun it was. There were some kid sized chairs and things, but nothing slotchy and fun. Nothing there was very tactile, it all seemed so sterile.
Next stop was Boulevard for some pastries and hot chocolate. We ate and drank while we wait for the trolley or the TRAIN. Did i mention we were obsessed with trains? she had a really nice time for about 30 minutes. We had both had enough by the time the 45 minute trolley ride ended. She kept telling me "We are on the tracks!" We both got a kick going over the river. It is fun to see it so up close.
Then we went to a friends house for some catching up, playing and lunch. Then off to a hard sleep before I woke her up to go to another friend's house.
It was a big day. Not exactly what MLK would have imagined but lovely just the same.

I have never done a library trip either, my husband keeps trying to get us there but in the bookstore at least you can make noise and no one will yell at you.
