I wasn't worried mostly because she's rather easy-going about location. I do worry that that's akin to fatalism and I want her to have high expectations and aspirations and live with them. When she's at her mother's house she almost never calls me; when she's been at my house she's never expressed an active interest in calling her mother's house.

Heh. Had a funny moment about that last week. I was out shopping for groceries with the kids, and when I got back they ran into the back yard to swing on the swings. Omaha steps out on the deck and calls to Yamaarashi-chan. "Your mother called." "Ok!" She kept swinging. "She wants you to call her back." "Ok!" She kept swinging. "That means now, sweetheart." "Ok!" And then she got off the swing.

I bet she'd do the same thing if I called her over there.
