Today I took Penelope to story time at a bookstore here called Russo's Books. It was our first time going and we will definitely be going back. We were about 5 minutes late and the place was crawling with little ones and their parents. Next time I have to remember to get there early so we can find a good seat. The lady that hosts this, Miss Lynn, is great. She started off singing songs with the kiddies and at first Penelope just stood back and watched, I think she was overwhelmed with all the other little ones. They were singing songs she was very familiar with so eventually she started swaying back and fourth and then jumped in with hand gestures and clapping and of course "yaaaay" after every song. That's one of her favorite words, that and "whoa". :) I took some pictures but decided not to post any since there were other children in them but we had a blast. Afterwards Penelope read a book in the store. Then we went on a lunch date to Applebees! I had a gift certificate that I received from one of the survey companies I take surveys for online and I thought she would really enjoy that. Here she is waiting for her meal and here she is chowing down on her "cheeseandburger" and fries.
