As the renovations continued Friday, I strolled along Park Avenue with Petra while Veronica and Mac rode their bikes. We visited Two Wheeler Dealer and Pomegranate Books. The folks at both stores were amazingly attentive and patient with the three kids.
The ladies at Pomegranate Books were so amazing, when Petra made it known (by her distinctive screams) that she wanted to get down and explore, they took turns holding her. They found toys for the older kids to play with and told us about Saturday's storytime.
We skipped back on Saturday at 3 p.m. with the son of one of the guys working on our house. He went begrudgingly.
But it was worth the effort. The storyteller was engaging and warm and friendly. I thought we'd be out of there within half an hour, but she was going strong at 3:45. There were kids arriving throughout the time...it seemed to be one of the best kept secrets in our neighborhood (which also includes Hanover Square and Independence Mall).
Next storytime is Saturday, Sept. 6 (I think they said at 10 a.m.)
We'll be there, I'm sure!
