Call Day #1, 7/16/13

Eleanor found a chore chart we had been given long ago and modified it.  She ADDED jobs for herself!  Her self-designed morning routine now includes making her bed, sharing, and helping out.  We're only on Day 2 but I'll take it while it lasts.  Also, very typical Claire get-up: ballet recital outfit and baby carrier.

It didn't take us long to find our new library.  This was our second trip, and this time we went for story time.

Eleanor's favorite part of the library?  The really big double-sided shelf of early reader books.  A whole shelf that is just the right level for her to read herself!  I don't think she checked out any books from any other part of the library.

Checking out the garden behind the library.

In the afternoon, we went to a neighbor's house to play with a slip and slide and in the sprinkler.  We're excited that there is a family just down the street with two girls close in age to Eleanor and Claire!

Hooray for water on a hot North Carolina day!
