The first; alpha, or the glorious beginning

I spent a few hours today doing library outreach at the "Mommy Market" at South Towne Expo Center. Gave out lots of free bookmarks, booklists, and talked-up early literacy. In the midst of it all, I learned a few things myself: when I have kids I definately need to buy one of those new collapsible pacifiers--the kind that close up and protect the nipple when dropped on the floor. Also, mothers and pregnant women have their own "culture," and I'll have to study up a bit and "get with it" before I'm a member of the club.
