Up In the Bouncy Clouds

As promised, I'll update you on my recent mega-travel experience solo with Anna. I discussed my concerns about this recently as we set off on our journey by bus and airplane to visit my family, hundreds of miles away.

Well, I have to say....I was really proud of how Anna handled it, and proud of how I handled it too.

"The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round...."

We did, of course, have our difficult moments, as is to be expected when you take a three-year-old out of familiar surroundings and drag her on a long adventure to a distant place, far from home and routine.

Sometimes she was cranky.  Sometimes she missed Mama Heidi and Kelsey and her stuffed animals that stayed behind and wanted to be home. Sometimes she ran wild in the airport because the wait was just sooooo looooonnnng.
