The library system in Bentham is amazing. Ethan gets free books to keep forever from the library when he is 8 months old, 2 years and 3 years old. Each time, he visits the library and signs out books, which we need to return in 3 weeks, he gets a Book Start sticker that goes into his special Book Start card and after 5 stickers (visits) to the library, he gets a really nice certificate.There are lots of different certificates to choose from. Here he is pulling out his new books and trying to put them back in.
He is learning that when you take things out of something, they can be put back into that thing too. So he is fascinated with opening lids, throwing things into the can or container, trying to get the lid back on, pulling it off again and then pulling out whatever he put inside it in the first place. So opening a cupboard, or looking into a trash can will reveal many interesting surprises inside. We have to carefully check all garbage cans before we tie up the bag and throw it out lest we end up throwing away a valuable toy, clothes, or whatever he decides needs to be thrown in it.
