Letter "X"

Olivia enjoyed painting on letter "X" at the library. Our children's librarian picks one letter a month and I've been trying to go along with that same schedule. Miss Jennifer, our children's librarian, is excellent and we enjoy our storytime with her every Wednesday! There is usually a fun craft or coloring page to go with the story time. Olivia likes making things...especially when paint and glue are involved!:)
