The Bill and Bette Bryant House, the BBB or Bed Bath and Beyond as I call it, is the orphanage for the 3-5 or 6 year old set. We visited them AND we come bearing gifts! Jannean and Carol have outdone themselves in shopping for the kids and we can't wait for them to see what we have for them.
The kids are just waking up from their nap and start to come out of the rooms, one by one to see us all sitting in the living area. They are a just a tiny bit (and I mean tiny bit) hesitant to come into the room, but soon have all come in and found a lap to sit on. I am sitting on the floor and have one child on my lap, another one comes and squeezes on. We start up a song and they take over!
The caretakers call the kids over and start putting the new shoes on them. We are so excited - they look great! Next each of them gets to try on a new shirt, skirt or outfit. Now, they are really excited...about the tags. I am pretty sure that they are fascinated with the tags because we want to take them (we seem to be all consumed with choking hazards, etc).
Some of these kids are like old (young) friends now. We know their personalities and love watching them interact with each other and all of us.
