The last two days can only be described with two words: jet lag. On the first night both kids woke up at 3 am- so we did the only thing any respectable family would do... Eat junk food and watch tv!
The second night was even worse with Li up at 1 and back to sleep at 3... With Ava up at 3 for the day. On top of jet lag, my orphanage respiratory funk has developed into a full blown sinus infection with horrible headaches- so lack of sleep has been especially hard. But, Chris rallied and let me sleep a few hours this morning. I'm crossing my fingers tonight is better.
Li loves the bonanza that is the Dinkel residence. He has been so happy playing with his new toys. There hasn't been too much "hey that's mine!!" between siblings yet... But that may be due to exhaustion.
Chris and I have been holding our breath everytime Li goes up and down the stairs because the stairs' height is up to Li's knees- so he isn't terribly stable on them. But, he is 3... And going to do it....
Because we didn't want the Home Depot to suffer any longer than it already has in our absence, we took our first ride in the Dodge and bought some plants for the house. Li wasn't at all scared of the engine growl, and even tolerated the seat belt!
Cross your fingers that everyone sleeps well tonight (you too Henry!!) and that Ava can go back to school Monday- she is really missing her friends!! Hard to believe that this is her last week of preschool!!
Also- a quick note to our neighbors that we are very aware of the jungle of weeds growing in our mulch bed. We are on it!!! Man!!! Wish our grass grew as easily as the weeds!! Hope Li likes to play in dirt!
