The weather has warmed up and we're all kind of bubbly about it. My husband and I got too hot going around the reservoir yesterday, instead of rubbing our cheeks and hands to keep warm. The pelicans on the water were happy as well, bobbing in the water and keeping an eye out for the fishermen.
I had a fun time talking to a friend last night about Calico Critters. We both have them for our grandchildren. I began a collection for my foster granddaughter about ten years ago and then she and my granddaughter played with them whenever they were together at my house. Finally, I bought a house and critters for my granddaughter to have at her house two states away. Now my friend has introduced them to her two year old granddaughter and I'm about to show them to my two little grandsons. My foster granddaughter preferred bunnies, so we have a lot of those, but then kitties were added and puppies for me. I have a little house, a nursery, a bakery. The silliness is part of the charm. But we began doing cell phone videos with the kids speaking for the animals (sometimes I would pinch hit) and I treasure these sometimes revealing plots. They got super creative and it's amazing how speaking for a tiny toy animal highlights the thinking of a child.
Anyway, my friend and I get a kick out of the play and inventiveness of our grandkids, and such joy, well, it must be shared!
