Today
(crossposted from Facebook)
Today we were at the library first thing, to get the next book in the series Ruthie is reading. She was super pissed the other night when she finished the previous book and we tried our nearby library branch and they didn't have the next one. So we got it at another branch today. I was impressed with how much of a crowd there was waiting for the library to open at 8:55am on a Saturday!
The funniest part of the day was when we went upstairs to the children's room, and just as we emerged from the stairwell, the children's librarian said "Hi Isaac." I turned to my son in amazement, asking, "how did she know your name?" The librarian's jaw dropped. It turned out she had been addressing her coworker, another librarian, who arrived from another direction just as we arrived. Too funny!
The best part of the day was how well the kids behaved when they had to sit through nearly five hours of my chorus rehearsal. I was soooooo pleased with how good (and quiet!) they were. And a number of fellow choristers came up to me afterward to say the same, so yay.
