It was bring a friend day at story hour today. Brooklynn loves to tell everyone about the librarian Miss Molly and how well she entertains kids for thirty minutes each Friday morning. She has practiced all of the songs and knows the routine well, so we thought it would be good to take a friend along to enjoy books, songs, and crafts.
We made a phone call to our friend Debbie and her grandaughter Addison.The girls met for the first time at the doors of the North Garland Branch of the library. It was an instant bond. Brooklynn led the way down the hall and chose a front row seat for Gran and Addy. She then proceeded to lead them in "head and shoulders, knees and toes". "Hmmm...I think Addy likes this as much as I do!"
There is irony in all of this because Brooklynn's dad and Addison's dad used to spend hours together when they were young. Jeremy and Tim have known each other since they were four and that is about 30 years if I calculate correctly. That makes Debbie and I friends for equally as long. Debbie and I spent many years carting our boys back and forth and watching them play. And now maybe our grandbabies will be playmates....what fun that will be!
It is funny how life keeps coming full circle!
