With the big kids

This week, for the first time, Pia sat on her very own carpet square during story time at the library. She spent a few minutes looking at the book being read and several more minutes looking around her at the other kids; then she needed to be retrieved by Mama and nursed for a while. After that, she was happy to return to her carpet square for the remainder of the half hour. Such a big girl!
