Today I am blogging about my experience at the library. I took Izzy and Maya to the library for story time, but there wasn't story time so we just stayed and played. I dropped them off at the kids spot and went over to the magazine section. I ended up grabbing O Magazine because they only had People in Spanish. Seriously? Spanish? Then I went back to my kids, plopped down and proceeded to read while they played. But as I was reading, I noticed something...something that I thought was weird. There were 4 other moms there with their kids, and they were PLAYING with them. They were reading books and doing puzzles with their children. Don't get me wrong, I totally play with my kids all the time. The thing is, if I wanted to read books to my kids and do puzzles, I would just stay home. I take them to the library to let them play with the new, fresh toys, so that I can get a break. I was totally feeling like a bad mom being the only one in the kid section not playing with my kids. The question is, did I stop reading and go do puzzles with my kids? Nope. Cause they were happy being on their own. And even though I felt like the other moms were judging me for enjoying my magazine (which they probably weren't), I know that I'm a good mom. And reading O Magazine every once in a while while my kids play at the library makes me a BETTER mom.
