Tuesday evening with Quinn

Quinn enjoyed waving goodby. She was very quiet as we drove away from the airport, but soon was noticing things along the road. We were not slowed very much, but were glad for the treats as we traveled. When we got home, she was very happy to get here and ready to play. She walked right by the table and then was surprised when Papa said, "look at this!" She loved reading your note and thought the basket of surprises was great! The Cootie game was fun to open. We sat down to play after supper and managed to get all the pieces identified, but didn't get far with the game. We'll keep trying. The first surprise chosen was the silly putty. She thinks that is pretty neat - especially after it warmed up in her hands.

We had a good evening playing, but when we got to the going to the bathroom routine, she really missed her parents. It took some tears and persuading to get the teeth brushed and finally when Grandma brushed her teeth too, she was able to smile and work on hers. After some tears she went to sleep rather quickly. We think it was a good first night - probably better that we expected.
