Separation Adventures

Dear Sonia,

Hello my little independent niece! This week, you are on your own for the first time in your young life! You told mom and dad it was time they went on a real trip and left you behind, and good on them, they took you up on your offer!

You are relaxing for the week at Chez Chilu, with your grandparents. Tiffany is still coming though, so that'll be good for you - not too much change!

Now, don't tell Mommy I told you, but she wasn't so sure about this whole leaving you for a whole week thing. She knows you said you'd be fine and that you were all about hanging with the grandparents, but she wondered about all this newly found independence. Wouldn't you miss her? Would you be confused? But, she went anyway, trusting in you.

I think it's gonna be great. Mom and Dad are helping people in need in Greece and they are having a good time too. As much as they dig you, they need some alone time now and then to make sure they can keep being the kick-ass parents you deserve, together!

So, my little Sonia-ita, have a great week. Enjoy eating food that mom would never feed you because you convinced someone you could have it. Learn all kinds of tricks now, because there's more separation from Mom and Dad in your future; I suspect it'll be you doing the travelling sooner than later!

Love you!

Auntie K
