Grand Opening! Library

 I went for a run and when I came home, Isabella announced that she wanted to build a library.

The first step was scouting out a location. By Isabella's orders there was only one prerequisite: It had to be high enough so little brother wouldn't destroy it. We settled on using the previously constructed fortress that Daddy built that morning.

Fortress was quickly converted to library using a few cubbies and filling them with books. I was assigned the task of sign-making for the Grand Opening

 under the direction of the dictator, er, contractor. I threw in a few library cards for free.

Apparently my sign lettering was too "fancy" and "lacked the proper conveyance of emotion". Isabella fixed that with some print letters and an exclamation point. Because everything! has! to! have! an! exclamation! point! when! you! are! six!

 She also added a snake -SSSSSS!

In addition to being a designer and builder, she also seems to have a strong sense of proprietorship.

She fashioned a scanner (to check out books) using a cardboard box and a red crayon. She provided the "beep beep" sounds. Old school.

Contractor, designer, AND she's the librarian. (Just know there is a two-book limit.)

 I suggested a "baby" section of the library for Matthew's use: Low level shelf stocked with books, a comfy cushion, and most importantly several feet away from the main library.

 Matthew licked his library card before it had a chance to dry.

 Then he found his favorite book at the library. What are the chances?!

The librarian must read, too. Of course.
