YaYa was very pursuasive and convinced me to leave Gwyneth in Chicago for a few days. Gwyneth got lots of Yaya time — she was there for 4 days all by herself. She was spoiled rotten. She had pancakes for dinner, watched a duck lay an egg in YaYa’s front yard, and had YaYa all to herself. Gwyneth is a big, big fan of YaYa so this was heaven for her!

Although we missed Gwyneth terribly, we had lots of one on one time with Annabelle! One kid feels so easy to manage when you’re use to chasing after two. We had a “Welcome to the Neighborhood” dinner on Monday and Annabelle was so sweet. We treated her to ice cream aftewards. I think a little girl could get use to this.
