Library Day

We had a short trip to the branch library this morning. We had some holds that were ready to pick up and two DVD that were due tomorrow after being renewed for a second week. We have been borrowing library DVD's from the "Real Wheels" series. They are live-action videos for kids that Bug ADORES! Kitty Daddy picked up a copy of "There Goes a Truck" on VHS from a sale bin while we were in Iowa City for my thesis defense. It's a thirty-minute video and we sometimes watch it three or four times a day!

The Real Wheels DVD's each have three half-hour "There Goes..." shows. The ones I have found are:

1. High Speed Adventures (A Race Care, A Spaceship, A Motorcycle)
2. Land, Air, and Sea Adventures (A Boat, A Helicopter, The Mail)
   
3. Rescue Adventures (A Rescue Hero, A Police Car, A Rescue Vehicle)
   
4. Travel Adventures (A Plane, A Train, A Bus)
   
5. Mega Truck Adventures (A Bulldozer, A Monster Truck, A Tank)
   
6. Tractor Adventures (A Tractor, A Dump Truck, A Farm Truck)
   
7. Truck Adventures (A Truck, A Fire Truck, A Garbage Truck)

We just returned Rescue Adventures and Travel Adventures and today we checked out Tractor Adventures and High Speed Adventures. They are very informative (I'm learning things I didn't know!), yet silly and fun at the same time. Another thing I like is that most of them say "If you want to learn more about ___ go visit your local library for lots of good books."

Bug also had fun playing with the trains at the library, but our trip was cut short by a Bean tantrum. Mean Mommy wouldn't let her play with the library's computers, so she demonstrated her new favorite skill: going limp, dropping to the floor, and screaming. She's only 19 months, but she's practicing hard and I have no doubt she will be a great talent by the time her second birthday rolls around!
