HOME! At last.

Posted on January 11, 2009

Yes, we are home.

We had one of the best airplane flights I have ever been on, they had “video on demand” with a bunch of kids movies.  Chloe was happy, I was happy, John watched a Lord of the Rings Marathon, so he was happy.  The only thing that could have made it a better flight was if the food actually tasted life food, instead of dirt.

Our plan to beat jet lag:

1)  Chloe didn’t sleep on the plane but slept when we got home, which we will call a “nap” even though for us it was 10:00pm.

2)  We wake her up just long enough to have dinner, play with her toys for a bit, then into the bath and  back to bed, which will get her in bed around 7:30 pm New Jersey time.  (Trust me, she is as tired as we are, she asked to go take a bath after only being up for 15 minutes.)

3)  I will NOT ALLOW her to get up super early.  That’s it, putting my foot down, no early rising for me!

Tomorrow, she goes back to school, and we have to start over with potty training.  (Okay, so not OVER, she used the potty’s in Italy, but they freaked her out a little, so we lost some of her consistency, and in the end we all just kid of gave up.)

Back to the daily grind.  It will feel weird, Chloe and I haven’t been really home since Thanksgiving.  I wonder if we’ll remember what it means to NOT travel?

Oh, and John’s working on the pictures.  We have a ton, so its going to take awhile to get them uploaded.
