January 7


We had gymnastics today for the first time in two weeks. Allie was quite glad to be back. Our teacher is out of town for an unknown amount of time, so we had two new teachers. They were a little more into gymnastics and not just play, which was nice, but had different rules and that was a little rough. All in all, it was a fun time though. In a couple more months, I will switch her to the three year old class and she will go alone. Can't wait for that!!


Jeff has been wanting me to get a Toll Tag for quite some time now. Apparently there is some mountain bike trail in Dallas that you really need to take the turnpike to get to. I noticed that one of the places to get the Toll Tags was the library. I thought that would be perfect. Get a library card, let Allie play, check out some books and get a Toll Tag in one trip. Well, we drove by Jeff's office first to get his license plate number since I forgot to get it before he left for work and then off to the library we went. Allie worked all the puzzles they had and then found three books to check out. We signed up for a card and were sent upstairs for the Toll Tag. We got up there and I started filling out the form. Of course I had forgotten Jeff's plate number in my car and had completely forgotten to write mine down at all. So, off to the car we go. Well, but this time it is 12:30 or so and Allie is hungry. Hold on baby, we have to go back inside and then we will go eat. She is NONE too happy!! I finished filling out the form and give it to the worker. Apparently they don't do Toll Tags very often and this is her first. Unfortunately for everyone, upstairs is where the majority of the adults in the library go. So, here I am in the blazing hot - when it is 60 degrees outside, there is no reason for the heat to be up to 80 inside - with a hungry two year old. Plus, there was an elderly gentleman sitting at the table right in front of the desk I had to be at. Well, needless to say, Allie was less than quiet and the gentleman got quite perturbed with us. I tried my hardest to get her to draw, use her quiet voice, whisper, but come on, she is two!! About 20 minutes later, we finally had our Toll Tags and library books and were on our way to Which Wich. Next time we go to the library, we will stick to the children's area!
