Locals

Baby's first trip to the library!  After "school" last Monday, we went to the library.  I was put on-call at work due to low patient census, so I ended up with a whole week off to play with my buddy.  Since I don't have any vacation time built up at my new job, I gladly took a little pay cut to have a week to play during my favorite month of the year with my favorite kiddo.

Peggy Parish, the author of the Amelia Bedelia books, was from Clarendon County.  Dana got to "meet" the statue of Amelia Bedelia outside of the library's front entrance.  At first, he was a little shy, and he would only give her knuckles.

 But then he got up enough nerve to really check her out!

As a child, I did not like Dr. Seuss books.  I could do the ABCs until we got to F, and then he lost me on the "fiffer-feffer-feff."  Wha?  Huh?

BUT I LOVED AMELIA BEDELIA!  All of her misunderstanding and sillyness and good-heartedness.  She is a great character, and I can't wait until Dana is old enough to laugh at Peggy Parish's books.  But in the meantime, he looooooves a "Barber, baby, bubbles, and a bumblebee."
