What a Difference a Year Makes

I wanted to note that Anna is doing so much better than last year in terms of seeing Nana, Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa. She is requesting to do stuff with Nana right away which (I think) is the first time that has happened. She asked to rest with Nana upstairs in Nana's room this afternoon (when she fell asleep) which really surprised me. She hasn't given Papa a hug goodnight yet but he's made her smile a few times and she didn't run away from anyone in fear. I am so relieved!

Sarah, of course, is wildly different than last year, too. She has a little bit of a shy act she puts on but warms up to everyone really fast which is great. She is doing a great job baby-proofing Nana & Papa's house, too. I think the jet lag is affecting her slightly more than Anna but she is doing a great job with it. I'm letting her have the pacifier all day if she wants it until she's back on track and that definitely helps her out.

Both girls love Riggs which I was a little nervous about because they've acted scared around other big dogs (although I don't pet those other big dogs so I don' t know if that's the difference). This is actually not a change for Anna because she's always been really interested in Riggs but Sarah has only been exposed to little dogs in Korea (and she doesn't like them much as far as I can tell).

I decided part-way on the Tokoy to Minneapolis flight that I wasn't going to make this trip next year but I'm guessing Sarah will be easier when she's two and Anna was already so easy that I'm sure we'll do it again in spite of everything.
