There’s a new car wash opening on 90th So. And 2700 W. by the Maverick. Yesterday when Jose came home from work mentioned that the car wash is giving Away free car washes from 5-7 p.m. We loaded ourselves and Alexander up
In the car and headed to the car wash. We’re going along smoothly when the brushes Started going up the car and while Alexander was smiling and laughing at the beginning Suddenly turned into a face that said “Mom, what is that? I don’t think I like That noise!” I wish I had a picture to capture the face. Just imagine, this cute little boy With his Hershey kisses eyes bulging out of his head, his lips as straight as can be And just looking back and forth deciding on whether or not to cry! It was again another Adventure with Alexander.

What to Read?

Alexander doesn't have a lot of books and he loves to read. He's always grabbing the same book saying "book" and climbing in my lap. I decided to take him to the library. Wednesday night we went out as a family to the library. Thinking it wouldn't take very long it ended up lasting for a good hour! Alexander is 17 months old and I don't know what books to get him. I grabbed the pamphlet that had suggestions, but when I went to go hunt them down they of course were...checked out. I need suggestions. PLEASE! If anyone has suggestions on what books to get let me know. Cindy, you were right about the Peek-a-Who Book, Alexander loves it. What are the dinosaur books called you were saying Atticus loves? I wrote them down, but the paper accidentally got thrown away. I do have a story about our first adventure at the library. Alexander was playing on the bean bag chairs they have in the kids section and Jose wanted to get a book so we told Alexander we were going to get Daddy a book. Alexander's response? I long drawled out "no." Picked him up and let him down while Daddy looked for his book and now that he can walk on his own he was everywhere in the aisles. I took his hand and said "lets go this way" and the response was once again a drawled out "no." I love the way he says it, it's so cute. On the other hand I'm not condoning it! I pick him up and the whole body goes as straight as an ironing board!!! What an adventure the library was. The question we ask now is "do we go back to the library?" As Alexander would say "No....!" The real answer is yes....I just don't know how soon!!!
