10/25/09 - Visiting Family

Taking advantage of some discount airline tickets we bought over the summer, David and Eva flew down to San Diego to visit family and friends for 5 days.  They took Eva to Disneyland for the first time, and she had a blast!  She still hasn’t stopped talking about it.   Eva was so excited to go on the “hair-plane”, she told Amanda “Don’t worry, Amanda.  When you get bigger, then you can go on the hair-plane!”  

 

Amanda handled her sister’s absence better than I thought she would.  She whimpered a bit the first time she had to go down for a nap by herself, and climbed into bed with me half-way through the first night, but other than that she did really well, even playing well by herself.   I took her on several outings to get us both out of the house and try to make our time special for her.  Having only a two-year-old and a newborn gave me flashbacks to when Eva and Amanda were that little and I had just the two of them.
