Anna & I went to story time yesterday with Rachel & Sam. Their story time is much better than ours right now since our good librarian moved out of state and they have yet to find a replacement for her. The lady who is filling in for ours is not animated at all and reads too many books for the age-group. The craft is still always fun though and Anna does seem to like it so we keep going back for more.
Anna did really well on this trip; it is definitely the best trip to Colorado with her so far. I think every other time she has been sick and has not been very much fun. This time she was giggly and social (to a point). It also helps that she can kind of keep up with her cousins a bit and I think playgroup has helped a lot to make her less nervous around other kids who might be a bit more wild & crazy than she is (that's not hard since Anna is pretty mellow).
Anna did a great job on the flight home—she needed much less attention than on the way there. I think because I had to get her out of bed at 4:45 AM she was just a little too tired to be needing constant entertainment. Grandpa flew back with us so we all sat together and then he even came out to the parking lot to re-install Anna's carseat for me (something I don't feel very confident doing).
After a good nap, Craig came home from work and he and Anna spent some time at the park getting reacquainted. Anna was a littel leary at first but it didn't take much to warm up to him again after almost two weeks apart.
