For a few years now we've been a part of Parents as Teachers, an organization that helps parents make sure their kids are on-track and provides activities to help them excel. We've really enjoyed the program and are always looking forward to Mrs. Pam's monthly visits. A couple months ago Mrs. Pam asked us if Brooklynn would like to participate in a special program, where a 6th grader who is attending a writing camp would write a book about her. We instantly knew Brooklynn would absolutely love it, so there was no hesitation to agree.
Fast forward a couple months - we were invited to the book ceremony, where Brooklynn would receive her book and meet the author. We didn't know what to expect, so we didn't prepare Brooklynn, catching her a little off-guard. As soon as we came into the room, the cutest 11 year-old walked over, introduced herself, and told Brooklynn she was the author and would read her the book. It was love at first sight for our Boo Bear. After reading the book, Aleksi played games with Brooklynn, did some group activities with the other kids, and just hung out. It was one of the sweetest moments. The book was fabulous, since it was about Brooklynn the Princess. Aleksi is an amazing kid who we had a great time with, and Brooklynn was so sad to leave her. I felt like she was Brooklynn in 5 years, as a sweet girl who loves kids and girly things. For weeks now Brooklynn has been inseparable with the book. What an experience for her!
