This weekend we had Andy's family here for Thanksgiving...which meant that Linus had his cousins (Grace 6, Abby 4, and Leia 8 weeks). Linus couldn't have been more excited as he awaited their arrival daily. Every time the door bell rang he would shriek, "Its Grace and Abby!!!" When the knock final came, our boy ran off with his two cousins and wasn't seen or heard from for two days. Sure we got an occasional one word answer or coerced hug, but it was very clear that our day had passed. We were not solicited to play trains, or to color, to watch him do a dance. No, Grace's was the only opinion that mattered any longer. This is when it came to me, we were experiencing a very small dose of what we will experience when Linus goes to school, and (heaven forbid) becomes a teenager.
