A number of people have asked me how the big meeting between Grace and Hazel went. Here it is. We took Hazel to Grace’s Day Care for the first meeting. She was very excited to see her Mommy (which in itself is very heartwarming) then she saw Aunt Julie, then Daddy, and finally, she saw what Daddy was carrying. There is clearly a smile on her face and she is willing to blow kisses to Baby Hazel (a courtesy afforded every object in the house from the high chair to the baby gates), which gives us a strong foundation to build this relationship. Later, she got to kiss the babies toes and commented (astutely) that the baby was “kye-ing”. I think it will take awhile before she realizes that this Hazel-thing is here to stay and a little while after that before she figures out that that is a good thing.
