Wednesday morning in the Gazebo

I enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Children's Room from the Gazebo Reference Desk on my Wednesday morning shift:

• Little ones using the rocking chairs
• A toddler or 2 running to hug Curious George
• Babies sleeping peacefully amidst the chaos
• Jason playing guitar and singing in the story room
• Incredible block towers, and the stories that go with them
• Cries of "pencil" as they run for the desk (I gave out lots of scrap paper)
• Puppet shows to appreciative Moms
• Kids shimmying up the light post and climbing on the bridge railings
• Moms and tots dressed alike
• Generally happy hubbub
• Even an occasional reference question

Through some quirky twist of fortune I was away from the desk when some child threw up, and Marcia was there to clean it up. I did try out the "upchuck gel" though, to get rid of the smell.
And I still thought that the reference shift went well. So there.
