I took a longer break than I intended from blogging but I'm hopefully back now.
We had a lovely time visiting with daughter and Baby A. She is so funny! She has a really good vocabulary for 2 and a bit and is quite the chatterbox a lot of times. I love how active her imagination is too. It's so lovely to watch. She did remember me! It was so funny. We were there waiting when she was picked up from daycare. My daughter told her that there was a surprise waiting. She came into the main room and looked in the kitchen and said Where's the surprise? She hadn't noticed us sitting there in the living room. Daughter told her where to look and she saw me and ran over to me, jumping up and we had a really long hug. Brought tears to my eyes.
The week went by really quickly, too quickly. Once again, I'm wishing we were a lot closer. I feel as though we are missing out on so much. I wished I could talk to Mum or Mother-in-law about how they felt being the far away grandparent and how they coped, but they are both gone and it feels really lonely. I tried to stay in the moment and enjoy the time that we had.
The two of us doing cheesy smiles.
Back tomorrow!
