Life with two kids has been a challenge and I think it's finally starting to normalize for us. I was a little shocked at first how hard it was to juggle the two kids especially when Allen would work the weekends. And that's with Esme being a great big sister and helper. She's never once showed any negative emotions towards Chan of which I'm thankful for.
Esme's been slowly adjusting to the 3 hour time zone change from Hawaii. She's been sleeping in a lot in the mornings but it seems to be getting earlier and earlier each day. Pretty soon she'll probably be back to her 7am waking. Bedtime is usually at 7pm but it's been closer to 8 since we got back since it's so nice out in the evening and because she's not quite tired yet. Tonight we picked the cherries in our backyard as you can see in the pics below.
Chan's sleep schedule didn't seem to be interrupted by our travels. He's still waking at least once and sometimes twice at night. Then about once a week he has a bad night and wakes all the time. I can't even keep track on those nights. I'm a little worried because he might not be sleeping through the night when I go back to work next month and that might make life a little rough.
Everyone at Ms Faye's daycare was glad to have Esme return to school. Apparently the kids asked where she was every day that she was gone. And Ms Faye said that the teachers missed her too because she's always the one to greet people when they come in the door. She's really good with the kids and adults names and even has some of the parents names memorized.
