Unfortunately, when we got to Hardesty Library, they seemed to be more interested in playing Power Rangers Samuri on Nick Jr.com, than picking out new books. Thank goodness there's a time limit on computer usage!
In the end, we got to do both- pick out new books for evening reading, some new CDs for their CD player (Toy Story, Veggie Tales and another They Might be Giants album).
As we were checking out, via librarian- instead of the machine- behaviors started to develop. There was a lot of dancing around and they got louder and louder. I'm sure the librarian was less than impressed with my croaking at them "get back here! You can't take the CDs out before you've checked it out! It'll set off the alarm! Come HERE!"

We had no sooner gotten home and got unloaded, than Big Bro wanted to play Wii. When I told him no, he pouted. He asked about the iPad- got another no. Threw a fucking fit and earned himself a time-out. Had to remind him of the "screen time" rule (1 hr/day, max). I then tried something new, letting him know that it was his choice- he could choose what he wanted to spend his screen time on, in the future. He seemed to be intregued by this idea, if annoyed that he'd spent his time on the computer, instead of his beloved Wii. LOL.
