Today started out rather sleepily. I put on some coffee for Parker and myself (accidentally forgetting to pour the water into the coffee maker- fail) and the three of us sat in the living room. Scratch that- two of us sat and one of us was bouncing happily in his bouncer. We sat like this for a little while, sipping away, and then decided to go on an outing to the library. Once we got there, Miles and I headed to the children's section of the library while Parker went to find his books. While Miles and I were reading one of the cute cardboard books, a little boy (who seemed to be around four) came up to us and started talking and playing with Miles. It was really sweet.I think that one of my hopes is for Miles to enjoy reading like Parker and I do. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, whether it a magazine, and online article, or a new novel. When we were planning Miles's nursery when I was pregnant, we decided our theme would be Adventureland. Diving into a good story is one of the first ways we can encourage Miles to live a life of adventure!
How was your Monday?

i love the library! Great for kids and adults. I think my Monday would have been better had I gone!
What happens when you put the coffee but not the water in the coffeemaker? I have not done that yet but I've come close several times =(
Oh my gosh, that photo of Miles is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's so chubby and cute sitting in that perfect white chair! I can hardly stand it! I hope he grows up loving books too but if he's like my son, he'll go through stages. My son used to read like 5-6 entire books with us. Well, we did most of the reading. He loved to point and ask what things were. But for the last 2 months, he's not into reading. Maybe just 1 book at a time. I know he'll come around to liking books again though! Not that we read very much :(. Not the best examples. PS My coffeemaker stopped working when I did that fail once!
@ Sable- well, it beeped (letting me know that there was no water in it), and I think I should've waited for the machine to cool down before adding the water because it made a big hiss and lots of steam came out and it scared me! But it still worked afterward.
@Lisa: Thanks!! I love how intently he was staring at the book- so cute! I think it's fine to not be a reader- my brother has always been a more hands-on kinda guy and it suits him perfectly!
Oh my goodness...I am new to your blog, but this post made me so happy! your picture is darling and I have a son with the middle name Miles, and we love the library : ) ha... I would love it if you'd share this on my blog's life lately link up : )

What a cute photo! Love it. I'll bet you were quick to take this, as I know I'd be biting my nails imagining my baby toppling onto the floor. Eek! Visiting from the Monday Mingle.
