We had a lot of fun stuff at Miss Roo's party, but right up until it started we were worried about a possible thunderstorm. It never happened, thank goodness. In light of the possibility of not having outside entertainment we did not put out this thing. So this morning while killing time between breakfast and story time at the library Roo climbed on in.
She was pretending to be Pluto in the Mickey's Clubhouse episode in which he floats away in a bubble. I particularly like the picture of Leeloo checking to make sure she's ok in there. As I watched her play I thought about a few years ago when I would have climbed in there without a second thought. Sometimes, I regret the spinal fusion. It was an adorable game. Try as we might neither of us could muster the words to the "there's no trouble in bubble as your floating along" song.
After some bubble blowing and a thorough stomp on her new tower floor it was time to go. Last week was truck week at story time, it didn't do much for me. This week was colors. Much more fun. She even read Press Here which is one of our favorites. When it was time to participate Riley got to bring up the color pink. To finish things off she brought out colorful ribbon pom poms to dance with.
Sometimes I think I miss being a librarian when I sit through story time. Not that I ever got to read to children. Technically, I was a "reference assistant." It was my work study in collage and an amazing gig. I digress, I think the tug I feel is a longing to get back to performing. I'm just not sure how I can rely on my brokendown heap of a body yet...
Roo on the other hand is the ballerina I always imagined being.
