"Don't Let the Baby Roll Out of Bed"
As I quietly left our bedroom this morning I uttered those words to Jim. Chloe slept on me for most of the night a habit that we had stopped in China because mommy lost too much sleep and could not deal with the rest of the day with out sleep. However, it was clear after our brief honeymoon period that Chloe was not as happy to be home as we were. We can work on sleeping in her crib later, for now it is much easier for her to sleep on me at home than in a hotel room.
This little girl has had so much change in her life in the last 2 weeks that I can't even imagine what she must be thinking. She loves the dogs though, I was a little afraid she would be scared of them but not our fearless girl. She tried to stop Gypsy's tail from wagging by diving into it. Toby is fun to pet too but not as much as Gypsy.
My parents picked us up from the airport and I was so happy for that. We were way to tried to drive home. Chloe HATES her car seat so we will have to work on that in some small trips. When we got home we had a small welcoming party. Chloe got to meet her grandparents and I think they are pretty much in love with her. My sisters had gone grocery shopping for us and cleaned up the house a bit, then made us all tacos. We very much appreciated that. Chloe and Leah played a bit. It was good.
Today she gets to meet her other cousins. Oh and her Aunt and Uncle. After that I think it is just learning to be a family of three at home!
Home sweet home has never meet so much to me.

Eventually the sleeping things will work it's way out and she will sleep in her crib. For now do what she needs to be close to you for the attachement and so she knows she is safe . For bed time I still put Jon Jon down in our bed so we can snuggle, read books etc. Once he is asleep we transfer him to his room and crib. This has worked best for us.
Wish we were there to Welcome you Home!!
Hugs,
