Myra is the most nostalgic child. Her favorite two sentences are “Do you remember when…” and “When can we do XX again?” She reminisces about everything: roasting marshmallows in the rental house with her cousins on our summer vacation, seeing a rainbow in Miss Ashley’s classroom (over a year ago!), when Sophie bit her on the bears at the zoo, watching Bolt on my phone at Ikea after waiting too long in the line for the playroom, all the people that came over for Stella’s first birthday and so on and so on.
One of her recent “remember whens” was when we took her to see the beginning of the demolition of the Westminster mall over the summer. She asks questions out of the blue like “Have the finished tearing the mall down,” “Is there a new mall yet,” “When can I see them tear the mall down again,” and “why are the building a new mall on the old mall?” Today, she asked again to see the old mall. So, we drove her by.
She asked why we were the only people watching the mall get torn down today. I get the feeling we will be back to check the progress on the mall sometime soon.
