I have only come across her a few fleeting moments at other past gatherings. Always very well mannered and properly dressed with hair accessories in just the right places. Today, she is a butterfly fairy. Fleeting and flying throughout the backyard, swinging on the swings, sliding down the slide. She flew down the neighbor's slide too and managed to get in a round of kick ball.Imagine that.
Happily, with much satisfaction, she settles into a book. The party still going on around her. I see her patiently flipping through, page after page. This butterfly fairy reads for a good twenty minutes. An incredible feat for a butterfly fairy at a birthday party with lots of other children and activities to fill your dreams.
I wonder who she will be the next time I see her?
