Today when I took Dotty to school all the kids were playing in the Atrium. There are not many children at school this week due to Spring Break, so all the classes were combined and the kids were running around like crazy. Dotty has never been a big fan of the Atrium (I think because it is so loud in there) and today she was really dreading going inside.
We put her lunch up in her room and all her stuff in her cubby. Dotty had a death grip on my leg.
She asked, "Will you play with me in the atrium?"
I replied, " I only have a few minutes, but we can bounce the ball a few times."
We walked inside the madhouse...I mean Atrium...and Dotty was glued to the back of my legs. Several teachers told us hello and complimented Dotty on how nice she looked (the teachers do this everyday so that is really not a shocker).
Side Note...Dotty did look very cute today though...if I do say so myself. She had on a t-shirt dress that has a very full, very ruffly skirt attached to it. Dotty loves it and she has worn it before.
Back to the story...
As we walked further inside the Atrium, a little girl from Dotty's class came up to her and told Dotty she liked her dress (she had to do this looking between my legs because Dotty had her face hid in the back of my knees...very fun for me I must say). With that compliment, Dotty peaked around me and smiled at her friend.
Then a little boy came running up saying "Dotty, you look so pretty today!"
At that point I was a distant memory.
Dotty started twirling around and basking in all the adoration of her peers.
I blew her a kiss (that she never even saw) and headed for the door.
