We are now back in Malaysia. The trip was a bit shorter because we left out of San Francisco, which meant our first flight was the long 15 hour international flight. We boarded early thanks to me doing so much flying and earning premier access status with United. We got settled in, strapped Addison in her car seat, and by the time we started to take off, we looked over and Addison was asleep! No need to coerce her. She did that again on another leg of the trip. She also slept from about hour 7 of the 15 hour flight until we landed. She did great, and it looks like she's adjusted to MY time too - both last night and tonight she went down at night easily, and she took 2 good naps today.
He thing Angela and have been challenged with over the last few weeks is to be more efficient and not waste as much time, mostly TV and browsing the internet ate time wasters for us. Our goal is to reduce them and spend more time as a family and as a couple. To do this, we have also decided to rearrange our house. Before, the upstairs 3 bedrooms and bathroom we only for storage, a guest bedroom, and my office. Now all our stuff is stored in one PACKED room, our bedroom is in one room, and Addison has her own room (shared with my office desk). We have painted a wall in each bedroom, and our old bedroom downstairs will become our play room. Right now, we have only cleared it out and painted the wall, no foam for the floor and toys yet... below is what it looks like.
We are hoping that if Addison has her own room, Angela can do more when she's napping because noise isn't a problem. We'll see how our plan works. I have 3 days until school starts on the 3rd. Tomorrow we go to the stores to restock our fridge. Happy new year to all!
