3:05 pm and I've done it again! This stroller is magic. Jack has never transferred so well. And Ki's parents told me he doesn't 'do' naps in strollers. I sent an email to Danny exclaiming that I MUST BE MARY FREAKING POPPINS OR SOMETHING because I really can't believe how much better this day has gone than I expected. And only one hour left and hopefully they'll sleep for most of it! So this was a gift. Ki was clearly throwing me softballs today. Or maybe it was the redeye flight he took the night before and the jetlag from being on the east coast. Poor kid was probably just too exhausted to miss his mommy that much. I'm sure once he reacclimates to this time zone he will hate me as much as before. :) I am putting a smiley face, lest anyone think I am in despair on this point. What I did take away from today is that it's okay if Ki cries. It's a whole lot more fun if he doesn't but we'll get along one way or another. And he's certainly making me appreciate Jack all the more. We are so, so, so lucky to have wound up with a kid like this. He is so tolerant and patient and good natured. I wonder who on earth he gets that from? :)

I had to look hard to figure out which kid was Jack. Do they look that much alike when they're awake? Good for you for getting the job done today. You're awesome! I imagine Ki will only cry for the first few times he comes to visit you. Pretty soon, you'll be his second mommy. :)
I think he got it from YOU, B. Jack was uniquely chill even as a newborn. I will try to have offspring that balance out the universe and inherit my ridiculous anxiety.
:) You are too sweet, Julia. I was a NEUROTIC little kid, though. I had to quit volleyball in 7th grade because I was so freaked out about having 7 different periods of schoolwork that I had an anxiety attack. Seriously, that little Becky could've used the advice you just gave Jack on the last post.
Our visits with Jack and you, his parents, as well as the delightful long week-end we spent with you all last month in Cannon Beach, lead Bill and me to say that mellow Jack definitely reminds us of Dan.
