[From Mimi Bogle:]
We went to the Main Library downtown where they have a wonderful children’s library. They have an entire floor dedicated to children. We waited around getting to know some of the children that were gathering for their Mother Goose Story Time followed by a puppet show. Lily was a little shy in the beginning but soon warmed up especially with the animals and toddlers sitting all around the couches in the library. All the children there were in her age group which made it easier for her. We spent a wonderful morning and of course did not want to leave but I told her we were going to see Papa at his office for him to show her off. She had a blast just running up and down the endless hallways in this very large complex. She would laugh and scream with delight asking Papa to “cha, cha, cha” as well as her announcements of “hi, hi, hi” (hide). I was so proud of her for she met a lot of people during these marathon runs and her shyness only came out as “hug” which everyone thought was adorable but we knew what it really meant was, please hold me for I am not too sure about all of these people. After we spoke with them for a few minutes she would do her “bye bye bye bye” accompanied with her wiggle dance (not to be confused with the wiggle dance that accompanies her “no, no, no ) which everyone loved. We of course did not burst their bubbles for we all know that what she was saying is “I need to move on – have you not noticed all of these wonderful hallways.” We rode the elevator to various floors where to her delight, and surprise, more hallways. We rode the elevator to the floor where Papa works and she broke out into a huge smile shouting “fla, fla, fla” (flag). This floor has 3 very large flags on poles which was an added bonus. On all of the floors, she loved to look out the long windows around the rectangle hallway where below was a garden courtyard. We then went back home for her nap then afternoon playtime.
