Premier Story Studio

On the recent trip to WA, our grandchildren, Nathan and Gracie were determined to continue the tradition of the "Story Studio". This time, they elevated it to what they called the "Premier Story Studio". Before we were allowed to enter the Studio, we received a link via WhatsApp to an online form.  The form contained a set of delightful questions such as: A glass of water - room temperature or cold? Massage - foot only, back only or both? We were only allowed into the Studio once the forms were confirmed received.

Ever since we started telling stories to Nathan and Gracie (Read here), the roles and format have naturally evolved over time. In this transition, we caught a glimpse of something larger - the natural passing of roles across generations. What began as us reading to or telling them has now become them telling us about their stories, their ideas and their lives. Over time, the stories shift from fairy tales to real-life adventures, from imagination to experience. And we, once the guides and narrators, now become the listeners, learning about the world through their eyes.

As Nathan and Gracie grow, they are increasingly the ones carrying the conversation forward. They shared stories about school, friends and teachers - sometimes with laughter, sometimes with a touch of frustration, and occasionally with a bit of disappointment. Through their stories, we get a window into their dreams, challenges and joys. And as grandparents, we have the privilege of listening - marveling at how far they have come, and how much they have to teach us.

Seats all nicely set for the VIP's

True to the promise of Premier Story Studio, as we listened to the stories, beside drinks, we were also treated to foot massage, back massage or both whenever we asked.

It was an experience we will never forget!
