One day when picking up my then 3 year old granddaughter
Mia from daycare I found her with all the other children in
her class playing outside. When I said, "Let's go Mia," a line
of little girls formed each waiting to give Mia a hug before she
left to go home.
Mia loves her friends. Even though she has been with children
from 5 to 8 hours a day the first thing she says as we head toward
the car is "Mimi, can I have friends over?"
She is such a diplomat and problem solver with the other children.
One day when I picked her up from daycare her teacher giggled
and told me, "She helps me with the other kids."
Every time I take her to the park as we leave she tells me,
"Mimi, I made a new friend."
Maybe it's just a grandmother's musings, but I think she may
be another Shirley Temple Black and may, like her, become a
United Nations representative or diplomat in some way. She
certainly has her personality and she even looks a little like her;
only her curls are jet black. She's beautiful inside and out.
