Storytime at the Library

Makayla goes to Story time at the library almost every Tuesday with Grandma Arakaki.  She meets her friend Jordan & her Grandma Shen there.  They have a real nice time together.  Makayla has been going almost all summer and got into their reading program which was great for her.  She now understands how to check out books from the library go home and read and then return for some new ones.  She is even picking out her own books to check out now.  She looks forward to the library almost every week.  Then afterwards the Grandma's will take the girls out to a fun lunch.

Here is Grandma Shen, Jordan & Makayla.  Sitting so nicely and waiting for story time to start.
Story time started and the lady that tells the story is just wonderful!  She's very animated and so fun when telling the kids all the stories.  Could Makayla sit any closer?
Now she's up and participating in the story with all the other kids in front.  Her friend Jordan was a little hesitant to join her.  Maybe next time when she gets more comfortable.

After story time, they leave the room and get their hand stamps.  Makayla has also learned how to tip the storyteller in her glass jar after she gets her hand stamped.  Now she's just lounging in this chair on the floor reading her book.  What a good girl!
