Riley Ivana is having the most trouble adjusting. My getting around has been somewhat limited by Riley. She has no interest in walking. She keeps saying Baba and Dedo are speaking Spanish and she doesn't understand what they are saying. When we first arrived the drama was Baba was hugging her too hard and we had to get past that.

She asked me last night if we had to take three planes to go back home. I said yes and she proceeded to drop her head on the table in desperation - like oh, my God I won't make it if I have to do that again. Little does she know, neither will I.
