Hammock time

june 24-

Well IT'S 9am ...and Amaya is on her am nap so we are able to have a chat!

New guest arrived from Calgary yesterday and she is marketing natural products

to hotels like here,sailing club,and higher end resorts.

I'm going to look at them myself today ...she has been living in Vietnam for 3 years now..and just now embarking in going home to expand business and give her children a fuller live...not so protected as they are here.

I love all the cool people we have met on this journey...everyone is so interesting!

I'm feeling we have the nite in control with waking,etc..we no longer pick her up but try to rock her in her crib and sing a lulluby which actually works most time.

The odd time we give a watered down bottle handy as last resort but honestly in the middle of the nite we are tired and she wins sometimes due to more sleep

for us.

I can now see how easiliy one can start taking a bottle at nite..although i really hoping this will not become the normal.

Ever get the feeling that they are in charge!

The one thing i am most happy about is being able to get her back to sleep in the crib without lifting her.WOW..it makes life so much easier ..when i think how often we carried her at nite for sometimes an hour ..trying to get her back to sleep

this is so much calmer and also not managing her so much..she falls back on her own.

I also do the sand man which i learn't from barbara and michael m...they often did this with the little ones and it really works..you stroke there heads lightly while bringing the hand over the eyes..of course they close them momentarily..but eventually they are closed sleeping

Well i'm going to hang with my hubby and have some couple time for an hour

7 more sleeps before we are home!!
