Library love

Today our local public library held a special baby storytime parade, which all the kids who regularly come to storytime got to march in. The parade route was through the library, out onto the sidewalk, then through city hall and back again. Little Omi was very serious about marching and stomping her feet as much as possible. After the parade, we went to the regular storytime. Miss Susan knows what kids love: bubbles, and lots of them.

This post is about your March of Dimes post--I am so touched by your participation in the March of Dimes. Grandma June’s ideal, Eleanor Roosevelt helped begin the March of Dimes to eradicate polio, the disease that felled her husband Franklin Roosevelt, leaving him paralysed. Grandma revered Eleanor Roosevelt. For my first decade of life, each year for the March, I stood tall with back against the wall and measured my height. A strip of tape was measured out to equal my height, and then, along with the rest of all baby boomers, I stuck my carefully saved dimes to the tape, matching my height with the shiny images of FDR. When the Salk vaccine was distributed--I was in the second grade--my mother came to school to help with the compulsory vaccination. She was sort of Eleanor's personal representative I believed, calming the nervous children.You are in a proud tradition of those who fight for the children. Strong work my girl.
