Chik-Fil-A

   Dennis and I are really looking forward to summer and the extra time that we will have to spend with Libby and Luke.  Today, we got a head start and headed to Chik-Fil-A with Libby.  Dennis let her play while I got our meals, and we were pleasantly surprised when she agreed to eat in the middle of her play.


After she ate, she quickly made friends with an older girl ("What's her name?"--so funny-- I just realized she asks this question (Which is one she asks often of both men and women) with the same intonation that the Joey on Friends asks "How you doing?")   She learned so much from the other children who were playing, and we watched as she followed them down the slide for the first time.


                And the second and third and fourth and fifth, etc.  She loved sliding down the tube!



   Several of the older children were playing Hide and Seek. When the Seeker started counting as everyone else hid, Libby's eyes brightened.  She knew counting and just joined right in.  She wasn't sure why they were counting or that they were playing a game without her.  She had a grand time counting with them and running around the play area.

Sometime during the time that we were there, Dennis got a sundae and I got an ice cream cone.  When offered some of either, she chose Gran's favorite, the cone.


When it was time to go, Soach and I were expecting tears, but Dennis sat her down, told her we would come back if she would be sweet, and we all quietly walked out the door.  However, when we got to the car, she insisted on driving us home!
