Once again I must retract my previous excitement about the sleep progress we were making with the kids. While letting Judsen sleep in yesterday seemed like the best thing to do, I should have known better. By bedtime last night (7:00pm) Judsen took a 40 minute nap and woke up looking at me as if to say, "Mama, let's go explore India...come on, let's go!" Despite my best efforts, that little guy was not ready to sleep. We danced the bedtime waltz for the next few hours. At about 10pm he started laughing at me as I tried to rock and shhh him to sleep...fitting...all I could do was laugh along with him. By 10:30pm I had, at last, won the battle and off to sleep he went. Needless to say, this morning, everyone was up by 7:00am as per our usual routine!
Today we took it easy and relaxed...much like we've done all week, I suppose. We've been looking into some preschool / playschool options for Isabel and found one that has a few classes on Saturday so we registered her for an Arts class this afternoon. Ghouse picked us up and we were off on our way to find Gymboree. Ghouse seemed to know where he was going so we all sat back and took in the sites. After a longer ride than expected, we pulled up to a narrow building with a small "Gymboree" sign outside and in we went. Interestingly enough, if you read Gymboree's address it directs you to the 2nd floor of their building however they are actually located on the 4th floor - can't explain that one; perhaps they consider each floor a 1/2 floor.
Isabel enjoyed an hour of painting and play-dough (or simply Dough as it's called here) with two other girls her age. "Here we all roll the dough, roll the dough, roll the dough. Here we all roll the dough, here at Gymboree" they sang together - very cute. The two little girls in her group had their ears pierced; something, I'm sure, Isabel will bringing up with us at some point.

Play time in the lobby - a little play-space any 3 year-old living in a hotel would enjoy!
