While Xander has been away with my parents, Kate and I have had a wondeful time with Mira. We’ve colored and put together puzzles and watched movies and played. She’s seemed to enjoyed being the sole focus of attention for a change. It’s been nice to not have to divide my attention for a little while and spend the time with her.
That said, she’d going to be amazingly happy when her brother gets back this afternoon. She really has missed him, even though she has mostly handled the whole thing just fine.
We’re all excited about seeing Xander again. It really is a different place without him around.
