Tuesday evening I told Abri we would be going to storytime in the morning. She got this huge grin on her face and excitedly said, "Storytime at the Library? We're going to storytime?" We go weekly to our local library but had missed the last three weeks due to sickness or other conflicts and by her reaction, it was obvious she had missed it. She talked about it a couple more times before going to bed that night.
The next morning, 8:00, she comes downstairs: "Is it storytime yet?" (This from the 3 yr old that has been sleeping in till about 9 lately.)
Todd: No, the library isn't open yet. You'll need to wait for a bit.
Abri: Oh, the library isn't open?
Todd: No, not yet. Go play for a while and we'll let you know.
Abri: Ok
9:00--Abri: Is the library open yet?
Leanne: No, sorry, Abri, not yet. There are still a couple more hours.
Abri: "Oh", very disappointed, again.
10:30 Leanne: Time to get ready to go to the library for storytime.
Abri: Yeah! Storytime!
Yet another miracle: She didn't argue with me about what she would wear because she was that excited about going. When I told her she couldn't wear the green sundress, she accepted that answer with an immediate ok and we settled on a denim skirt. (Of course, I didn't get her to wear pants, but at least it was something different from her usual favorite dresses.)
The simple pleasures of childhood.
