Reminders of yesteryear

Thursday, May 7th, 2015

Though they’re getting to be such big girls, Zoe and Avery still do things that remind me of their younger days. Zoe, for example, has been asking me for years to sing her the lullaby I made up when she was a baby (opening line: “Good night, Grandma and Grandpa/Good night, Safta and PopPop”) – and she sometimes even asks me to hold and bounce her while I sing it. (She’s all arms and legs in my lap now, but I try my best.)  And Avery recently started reminiscing about and asking for a book about belly buttons (“bee-bos”) that we used to read all the time. I had packed it away, along with her other board books, shortly before she started kindergarten, but I happily brought it up from the garage this week!
