Brookie the Cookie

Since no one seems to be posting anything (turns out you have to switch to the new blogger to post on this thing now, sorry), I'll share a sad/cute story with you about Brookie. So, Mel and I went and watched her gymnastics class on Lyssa Lou's birthday. Michelle wanted to leave early to finish the birthday cake so Mel and I said we'd take Brook home. When the class ended we left the upstairs viewing room assuming the kids would be waiting downstairs. Guess not. Once classes are over the kids all go upstairs where they can see their parents waiting for them. Once Mel and I figured it out we hopped back upstairs to find a teary eyed Brook searching frantically for us. I called her name and she turned around and fell into Mel's arms crying "You were confusing me!". So sad that she thought we were leaving her, and so cute that this little 5 year old girl uses confusing in the right context.

Poor Brookie! PS - I wish I could go watch her gymnastics classes with you guys! I also have a gripe -- why doesn't anyone ever post pictures?!?

The whole situation reminded me of a certain someone (Mandy) teary eyed in the airport thinking she had been left to fend for herself....it nearly brought me to tears.

PS--discuss pictures with their parents (or I believe Meggie has some)
