After skipping her nap and then waking up at 1am instead of 7 or 8am .... AND THEN traveling all day and arriving here at our house at what was about 3am Santa Cruz time ... and having only a few naps of less than an hour here or there ...
This is what catching up on sleep looks like. She took a 3 hours nap, was up for 2 hours, and then went to bed and slept from 8pm until 1pm the next day. That means she slept 20 of 22 hours, and slept for 17 hours straight!! I went in around noon and took this picture. I used the flash twice and she didn't even bat an eye. Hands behind the head, shirt unzipped (she did that herself sometime in the night). She needed that sleep! Today she slept in until 10am and then took a solid 3 hour nap. We're almost there!
The first day back was curtains closed for us, just trying to keep our eyes open and go to bed at a normal time, but we had missed a night's sleep ... we arrived at around 11am here which would be about 2am in Santa Cruz ... and that was after getting up at 1am in Santa Cruz ... so a half night's sleep and then no night's sleep ... and staying up all day with the two girls after all that? No way!
Chloe basically slept for 24-48 hours straight with a few times of being awake for about 30-45min and just smiling and laughing away. After our first night (not being able to really sleep, waking up to girls crying non stop, etc etc) we "woke up" to inches and inches of snow. This was the view out of our front door.
... so we at 1pm when Lily woke up we pointed out the window and she went "OH!!!!" and immediately ran to the door and grabbed her shoes and jacket. She was ready to go quicker than dad was (that's common)
Even mom and Chloe made it out. What a cute bunch of girls!
... and man oh man was Chloe cute and smiley
Lily was even playing with her sister a bit. This reminds me of how I played with Sean, except I was the one biting the heads off of his toys, haha.
... and then Lily spilled water all over the bed, which we dried up with a hair dryer ... and Lily LOVED that
... then today it was off to the store to restock our fridge (we pretty much lived off of goldfish crackers, water, beer, and stove top stuffing the first day and a half). Lily got all dressed up and looked adorable. Then we went to lunch after the store and Lily got to play with all of her school chums.
