Reid’s excellent vacation

August 24, 2009 by Barbara.

Reid has been sharing little snippets of what she did last week while in Wheatley and environs. The information will trickle out as this week goes on and things remind Reid of what she did. I know already that she had an excellent visit, though. As proof, I offer the fact that she cried for the first 10 minutes after we left Aunt Karin behind. She cried because she didn’t want Aunt Karin to leave and also because Aunt Pam and Grandma Joyce wouldn’t be at our house when we got there instead of waiting until the weekend. Finally, she cried that we should move to Wheatley because Ottawa was too far from her family. I was sympathetic, tried to help her focus on the fun she’d had and reminded her of how long it had been since she’d seen Daddy and her other friends. Reid wasn’t entirely convinced but she eventually stopped crying and fell asleep. All this to say, I’m glad Reid had fun but I wish she didn’t cry when I take her home.
