Today’s three year olds don’t remember a world without Covid restrictions.For them, even small signs of things getting back to normal are a big deal. At least it seemed that way earlier this week at the grand reopening of the Woollahra Libraries Double Bay slippery slide, which closed in March 2020 due to public health restrictions. On the morning in question, a small crowd of toddlers formed a somewhat orderly queue, cheering as library staff removed the big red ribbon. Nicholas, a local three year old, and his mum Victoria got there early and were lucky enough to be first…
