A couple of stories on this that I forgot to post…
My mom told me that on Sunday, Taylor opened the door from the house into the garage at least 3 times. One particular time mom said something to her, Taylor said, “That’s grandpa’s car.” Mom told her it was and Taylor said, “I don’t want grandpa’s car. I want daddy’s car.”
One other story that tells us she’s not quite over our leaving her this past weekend (other than the fact she’s been very clingy at drop off) was when we reminded her last night that grandma and grandpa were coming over tonight (Brian’s parents). She cried and said, “I don’t want grandma & grandpa!” Brian said, “It’s okay, honey. We’re not going to leave.” And she quit crying. That’s when he brought her back downstairs to look at the pictures on the fridge so she could see who we were going to visit. For Aunt Kay – you might be “Ms. Kay” to Taylor for a bit… we’re working on it.
And this morning we were talking it up, telling her about her plane ride tomorrow. Well, she’s still learning the whole “tomorrow” concept. I turned in to her daycare and she whined, “I don’t wanna go to school!” I said, “Honey, you have to go to school today. The plane ride is tomorrow.” Still slightly whiney, “Okay.” I think she’s excited.
We don’t know yet if she’ll be in the window seat or not – she told me she didn’t want to watch the clouds go by then told Brian later that she did. We’ll see.
