Trip to the Bookstore

Today we brought the baby to the bookstore for the first time. Other than the pediatrician’s office, this is the first public place in which she has spent any length of time. When we arrived, we popped her carseat into the stroller, bundled her up, and marched to the front door. She did great and slept the whole time!

The bookstore is probably my favorite place to go in our city. I stroll amongst the shelves probably weekly on average. Maybe every other time I’ll buy a book or two. I like being in the presence of books both at the store and in my home. When I’m working, I like my desk to have two or three books resting open or bookmarked. They might be relevant to the work I’m doing, or not. It doesn’t much matter to me. I just like them around.

I’m sure there will be countless more trips to the bookstore with my daughter. I’ll have to hope that she enjoys the excitement of a new book as much as I do.

So long for now.
