Ribbon Cutting

After months of borrowing books and going to sing-song sessions at its temporary structure, Tommy and some playgroup friends attended the grand opening of the new, sleek, environmentally-friendly Watha T. Daniel Library early last month. The Mayor, and several DC Council members and other various politicos from around town were also there, and it felt like everyone was falling over each other to pat themselves on the back and give a speech. All Tommy really wanted to see was the ribbon getting cut by that huge pair of gold scissors! And all we wanted to do was get inside to check out the new hotness. A fun event, despite the talking heads and speeches. The new building is bright, spacious, and full of books. Tommy treats it like a maze where he's supposed to run full speed up and down the aisles.

Excuse me, sir, are you old enough to check out "Adult" books?

Acting the part of bookworm.

This misplaced piece of support material is going to be a source of trouble in the kids' room. The little ones hopped right on and started climbing as soon as they saw it.
