My first Heartbreak:(

Brynn would like you all to meet Janek, her very first boy-crush. Well, perhaps not the first, she also has a thing for a boy named Toby who does gymnastics with Aurora. Anyway, Janek is an Irishmen who has been living with us for the past three weeks while he did some work in Christchurch, and left last weekend to rejoin his girlfriend in Queenstown. During the first couple of weeks Brynn paid him little notice, but in the last few days he was with us she became quite glued to him. No longer did she have interest in being given her bedtime “baba” by mom or dad, only “Yanet”. She was quite fond of cuddling with him on the couch and having him cary her around while she snuggled into his shoulder In the days that followed Janek’s departure she would pace outside his room calling “Yanet! Are yoo!”  She was quite sad looking when we told her that he had left, and we were not likely to see him again. We now have a house-full of new people, and she seems to be moving on, brave little trooper that she is.
