I'm going to share a little secret, and then you'll have no sympathy for me whatsoever. My kids have been rockstars about sleep transition after travel. With the exception of one who had night terrors for six months, bless her, they've all slept through the night from the get-go. Until now.
We've only been home three days so I realize I need to give it time, but it's getting worse. We landed in bed at 3:30 am Friday and slept till noon, no problem! All of us. Friday night, little dude woke up at midnight, guzzled a bottle, and tossed and turned till 2. That's doable.
Saturday night, he woke up at 2, downed a bottle and tossed and turned till 5. Last night he woke up at midnight and tossed and turned till 4:55. Not cool. My alarm rings at 5.
Around these parts when the alarms rings, we hit the ground with both feet and all hands on deck. I don't know how that will play out today.
I'm desperate for suggestions to help Mr. Cool sleep! And I'm not beyond medication, people. When he doesn't sleep, I don't sleep. He goes to his crib until he wakes for a bottle, and then we're co-sleeping. But my littlest rockstar is like the Energizer bunny...on steroids. He can be perfectly still for all of 2.2 nanoseconds, and then he's rolling around, kicking his legs and reaching to hold my hand. He has to have my hand over his. Sweet, huh? It really is. But he is so tired. He's really awesome about not sitting up and playing. I can tell he's frustrated though.
So, what would you do? And please don't say skip the nap because I've been letting him nap less than an hour. And we've been staying up till between 9 and 10, which is so past my bedtime!
We all thank you for your words of wisdom :)

It's Almost GO Time!
When you're having coffee Friday morning, we'll be going to bed in China!!!
At crunch-thirty I managed to get us packedWe have the VPNs downloaded, the computer and Kindle packed, and the weather looks decent for our early morning departure. However, the weather is an issue NOW.
It's sleeting, and we have a 2-hour drive to the airport. Also, our friends, the Smith family, who are moving into our house, have a 5-hour drive, and there is sleet and snow between here and there. So here's our prayer list:
~clear roads
~no flight delays
~all our Treasures at home
~the Smith family and others loving on our Treasures
~Kohlby is prepared for mega-lovin'
~our girls' safety and health
~Clayton's continued strength
Stay tuned. The journey is just beginning!!!!
TO HIM BE GLORY!!!

We Can Help!!!

My friend Gayly is leaving in a few days to bring her Treasure home from China! But her trip includes a visit to Morning Star Foster Home, and we can help make her visit extra special.
MS can always use items for the babies they care for, and Gayly will deliver them if we will just get them to her ASAP!
Please check out Gayly's blog to see how you can help make her visit special!

While in China
I think blogger will work just fine for us, but if there's a problem we have an alternate site...but I won't confuse me you with that now :)
Also, if you send me an email while I'm gone, please send it to this address. For some reason I can't send or reply via my primary server. I will get your email, but I won't be able to reply, unless you use this address.
And for the record... one bag is 39 lbs and one is 48. Of course, we don't have my sister-in-law's luggage yet - bahahahaha.
