Library Totes & Fire Trucks

I love taking the boys out to our town's library which is within walking distance from our house.  Primarily because no one else goes there, so we have the whole place to ourselves and I don't have to keep a hawk's eye on the children.  CJ is a bit "assertive" (euphemism for "bully-ish") and is often found snatching someone else's toy or books.  We're working on sharing, but it's been a very slow process.

Speaking of sharing, I started buying two of everything even before Nathan was born or conceived (I guess I had already assumed sharing would be difficult for my children).  Among those purchases are these adorable monkey totes for $2.50 each at Target.  Now the boys use it as their library book bags (Nathan's still too young to make use of his but it'll only be a matter of time). 

CJ has always loved doing puzzles and playing with the toys at the library.  But recently, he's showing more appreciation for the books.  His current obsession is trucks. 

Can you tell?

If your toddler is just as fascinated with all things trucks and firefighters, these reading selections are good ones:

- Mark Teague's, Firehouse!

- Kersten Hamilton's, Red Truck

- Patricia Hubbell's, Firefighters!
