I have a backlog of things I need write about, but I do have to post this one thing out of order. Today, Anna went to Disneyland with Jennifer. We had some passes left over from our trip at the beginning of the summer and had to use them before next weekend. We left it up to Anna to choose who would take her.

Jennifer took Anna early this morning and Tara and I puttered around the house and ran errands. In the evening, as I was getting Tara ready for bed, I got a call from Jennifer. Actually, it turned out to be Anna calling on Jennifer’s phone wanting to talk to Tara. She had missed her during the day and wanted to talk to her. I put Anna on the speakerphone and listened as the two of them talked. Anna asked me to let Tara stay up until she got home, which would be 15-20 minutes beyond her bedtime. Since Tara took a three hour nap, I decided to let her stay up.

When Anna arrived home, the two of them were very affectionate and excited to see each other. When Anna finally got ready for bed and went to lay down (in Tara’s room for the last few months), she insisted on straightening out Tara’s blanket. It’s really sweet to see the two of them so close. I think this is just what we had in mind when we decided to have Tara.
