Mini AK? Translation: Trouble.

In our continuing effort to look for ways to socialize Ellie, we went to our first baby story time at the library. Oddly, there were no stories involved today but that may have been a factor of a substitute instructor being present. There was, however, singing and "dancing" followed by playtime. We were only there for about thirty minutes since the building had to be evacuated for some unknown reason. Ellie seemed to enjoy our time there, and she was not the least bit shy about mingling with others (unlike her parents). Instead she was acting just like Aunt Katie: getting in other babies' faces and taking other babies' toys (read: not wanting to share; something AK is famous for). She even got into a little tug-o-war with one of the baby girls (Kelly?). No one got hurt and there were no hard feelings. We'll definitely go back and we'll probably even include another branch in our adventures.

Kudos to Ellie for not letting those other kids take her toys and for showing some gusto....it's not called being a bully, it's being assertive.
