1000 Books Before Kindergarten :: 1800!

We finished up Toddler/Preschool, so I let the kids start picking out their own books at the library. That mostly consisted of them grabbing everything they could see off one shelf haha. So we have some interesting picks :)

But they are super excited about picking out their own books, and they ask me all week if it's library day, so I'll call that a win!
