A Library Card
I don't think this picture needs much explanation.
But allow me to set the scene for you.
A 5 year old boy who loves to read learns how to print his first and last name. Said 5 year old boy knows that is the requirement to get your very own, personal library card. He has a project due for school that requires a trip to the library. He begs, pleads and asks as patiently as a 5 year old boy can, if he can finally get his own library card now.
And so he does.
I don't know which of these things is finer - the sense of accomplishment and pride Alex felt, or the whole big world that was just opened up for him.

there is something magical about a library card! i am sure he will use it well!
LOVE it! My daughter turned 4 in February, and one of the first things she wanted to do was go get her very own library card!
Oh, how exciting! I remember being SO thrilled and SO proud of myself when I got my first library card. Good for him!
This picture and post warmed my heart! I'm a used-to-be teacher and always-will-be mother who thinks that there is little more endearing that a child being excited about books. Precious and powerful.
That is definitely one of the most exciting days ever! I still love getting a new library card when we move to a new city. It's always one of the first things I do. Congratulations, Alex! :)
Blessings,
Michele
