I think it's safe to say, I spoke to soon when it comes to the kids being so well adjusted in just two nights. Perhaps wishful thinking or the optimist in me, but I take it all back!
Last night was off to a great start - it was New Year's after all and we're celebrating ringing in 2015 in India...all sounds wonderful! We put the kids to bed around 7:30 and then ordered room service and settled in to watch one of my Christmas gifts from Paul, The Million Dollar Arm (keeping with our India theme). The party downstairs started at 8 and the music was impressively loud but thankfully the kids kept sleeping. At midnight we watched the firework displays across the city from our window and then both Isabel and Judsen woke up. Nice to wish them Happy New Year but this was not part of the "sleep through the night" plan! Isa went right back to sleep, Judsen on the otherhand needed some convincing. An hour later he was sound asleep in my arms, the party had stopped downstairs and then we made the wrong choice; instead of going to bed like rational people, we were still in a celebratory mood so we decided to watch a show then go to bed. Well that took us to 2am at which time Judsen woke back up, as did Isabel. Well from then on things just went downhill. I think I finally settled into bed around 3:30 and Paul was closer to 5. Needless to say...we are tired this New Year's Day!
I suppose it's no different than the days we used to stay up until all hours on New Year's Eve...but let's be honest, those days are a very long time behind us! In the past few years we're lucky to make it to midnight!
Happy New Year! Very much looking forward to the year ahead!
