Bye-Bye Auntie Brynne

Today was a very challenging day for Kaia—lots of fussiness and impatience—and I think that it has to do with the fact that his Auntie Brynne is getting on a plane this evening. He has been with her for nearly three weeks and they have developed a very close bond and even an evening ritual that has been very welcomed in this household—playtime, bathtime, “Kaia burrito” time, and storytime. He will miss her tremendously, I think, but it is tempered by the trip to Hawaii we have scheduled in a few months with all of the family to celebrate Kaia’s 3rd We are all very excited about it. Having Auntie Brynne here was a really special and memorable time and we had a chance to do some fun things together like the family photo shoot In all, it was a great time and we will miss her very, very much.


Why I Love this Time:
With all the anxiety that accompanies this transition, also comes a strong sense that we are engaging life and embracing the messiness of living. It isn’t easy and certainly is not for everyone, but for those who can meet it head on and not turn back, there are very true signals that you are very much alive in such challenge.
