Jetlag

Uncategorized Add comments

     After we arrived home on Sunday afternoon, we kept the boys up.  They did not seem too tired and were playful as usual.  Connor had told us that he missed his Batman outfit while we were in Hong Kong, so he started wearing it on our return. I found a sleeping Batman on the couch a couple of times while I just turned my back to him, so I quickly woke him up to continue to play.  Logan did not have a chance to finish all his homework during the trip, so we could not have an earlier bedtime on Sunimageday.  Once we were all done, we carried on the usual routine and both boys were down at 8:30pm.  Connor woke up at 5 something but returned to sleep until we woke both boys up at 7 for school.  They did fine at school on Monday.  On Monday night, they had another good night sleep until 6 to 7am again.  Stuart and I jinxed ourselves by saying that the boys did well without jetlag.  On Tuesday night, both boys woke up at 2am and they declared that they were done sleeping.  I was too tired to think, and I offered Logan to sleep with me.  Logan did his best keeping quite still on my side.  Connor was more fidgeting trying to find his spot on our bed too.  Later Stuart had to send Connor back to his room.  Connor ended up cleaning up his room and clearing his desk.  At some point, he returned to us and asked what else he should do.  He tried to lay with us again, and by then, Stuart decided to give up his spot and moved to Logan’s bed himself.  The three of us finally slept until 7:30am.  After that night, the boys seemed to have returned to their routine and slept fine again until 6:30am or 7am. Stuart and I actually have been feeling fine during the days since we returned, but for several night by bedtime reading, I became very sleepy. I almost dozed off several times during reading to the boys. I found myself pausing or even saying random words while I was reading. The boys noticed it too, and they would try to wake me up. It was not easy but I managed to finish reading the three books each night. It was great to return to our routine again.

And this was the last piece of homework Logan did on Sunday, a journal with his choice of a topic.
