Sidewalk Hopscotch
I waddled outside onto the warm neighborhood sidewalk and spotted a cheerful hopscotch grid drawn in bright chalk across the concrete. Right by the starting line rested a chubby piece of chunky blue sidewalk chalk. Squatting down carefully, I scooped it up with both plush hands and gently tossed it forward. It skipped across the stone with a soft clatter and rolled squarely into the box marked with a big number three! Balancing carefully on my round yellow-toed feet, I took two bouncy little hops along the numbered squares to go retrieve it. Joining in on the sidewalk fun made my afternoon feel super-dee-duper bright!
