I am very close to my family, but you wouldn't be able to tell by how often I get to see them. I took Dee home for the first time this weekend. Well, let me do the whole story...
On Saturday morning, I woke Dee up telling her let's go! Today is our trip to visit family. I knew she was excited about going to an airport, and riding a plane for the first time. It didn't make it any easier to wake her up!
She did great on the plane, and was at home immediately in my mom's house. She didn't cling to me ever! My siblings and nieces and nephews treated her with way more kindness than we tend to give in our family. She was having a ball! A family party was thrown in her and my mom's honor.
She had a more difficult time in a mixed crowd (adults and children). She picked one person, a cousin, and hung with her playing on the computer in the living room. She did play outside and got to be with bigger cousins. I saw that my little extrovert is an introvert when more boisterous children. She had a ball, and wanted to stay there. When my sister said she couldn't wait to see her again, Dee replied she'd be back by herself next time.
Dee and my mom had bonded by phone, and they both did well in person. My personal favorite time was when Dee said something not so kind to or about me, and my 13-year old niece was walking by. She said, "You better not ever talk to my aunt that way. If you do, you will answer to me."
It was a great trip. Lots of family, party, a little sight seeing!
