GG, Welcome to the Refrigerator

When I was a kid, I loved magnetic letters on the refrigerator. I loved moving them around, making new words, and taking them apart. It was one of my earliest reading and writing experiences. Now that I’m an adult, guess what’s on my refrigerator!
​
It starts with the name of my favorite place, Norris Lake. Below it are the names of the people I love most, my family. My husband and I are there, our parents, our three kids, and two spouses, so far. It’s like a crossword family tree. But in December, suddenly someone was missing, the newest member of our family. 
​

Everyone was there until my grandchild was born. Then I needed more magnets, matching ones so I messaged my magnet guru, Rochelle from Rovals. She sent me the letters, plus a little surprise. When I opened the package, I found my favorite two letters – GG – for Me!
 
Someday my grandchild will play with all those names on the refrigerator. Moving them around, making new words, and taking them apart. My refrigerator will be full of mismatched names, but that’s how it should be. They’re meant to be used, to help a child’s brain come to life. Best of all, I’ll be there to watch, and play with them too.
