Kids

This weekend, Ana spent her first extended period of time with the kids of the family. We celebrated our mother in law's birthday and hosted a preschooler and a baby of 9 months. Ana did great! She didn't exactly play and clearly preferred the company of the adults, but she let our niece pet her and sniffed the baby a few times. It was great! There was a bonding moment when Ana realized that the niece was the best source of dropped food. :-)

We were super happy. The boys had to stay in the basement, but did enjoy some backyard time in the snow. Ava happily watched them through the back window and asked repeatedly if she could go play with them. I made a point to go out and frolic with them, letting them kiss me and putting them through simple commands so she wouldn't be afraid. She was fine.

It was a good day.
