Angus got extremely upset last week when he heard the school library was closing down for the summer. John got a bright idea that he suggested to the principal and the librarian, and they were all excited about it. He called me at work, and had me make up a "Junior Librarian" card, which he had laminated with Angus's picture. Then they had a little get-together in the library and presented him with his card and let him pick out a book to take home over the summer (we paid a deposit on the book in case something happens to it). I came home yesterday and he was all excited to show me a book about Egyptian mummies that he had chosen. I told him he needed to keep it on the bookshelf when he's not reading it, and away from his sister. He's very excited to be reading it over the summer, although, sometimes I wonder if his interests aren't a little morbid.

Yesterday, I could not get him to let go of me when dropped him off at his classroom. He had been looking in the American Science and Surplus catalog, and seen this scorpion, and wanted to show me a tarantula in his classroom that was similarly mounted. However, he didn't say that, he just kept holding on to my arm as I was trying to leave, and getting more and more agitated. Luckily, the thing was right inside the door on a table, so he grabbed it and showed me. Then he was fine to go into class.
