Home at Last!

Finally Home and fast asleep! The flight home was long and tiring but Kassie did great! Just a couple of meltdowns but not bad for 24 hours of flying. Mom and Dad, Deidre, Len & boys, Don & Di, and friends; The Shaw's, The Place's and The Biss' were all at the airport to meet us. We were so happy to see familiar faces! Kassie was great giving hugs and hellos to everyone. All it took was Duncan to burp for her to get giggling. Oh boy, here we go! She held hands and walked with all the kids, it was very sweet. We went home and all our family came too. Kasech was so excited when she saw her play room and her bedroom. She played ball with Uncle Don, Duncan and Doug for a little bit and roamed around checking out the house. After everyone left she looked around her play room and touched everything. I can't imagine what she was thinking. I think she understood this was all her stuff. I don't know. When we brought her upstairs to go to bed, she pointed at her new bed so, we put her in it and she was out in 5 seconds. The next day was a sleep marathon. She woke up at about 9:00 AM had some water and went to the bathroom , then back asleep. She woke up at 11:00 AM and I gave her some Cheerios and a banana, then back asleep. After that, she didn't wake up until we woke her up at 5:00 PM!! I didn't know if it was good or bad to let her sleep but after talking to mom on the phone, decided to let her until 5:00. We kept her up after that until about 10:00PM and she went right to sleep easily again. We thought few, great she is going to sleep tonight... That is until 3:20 AM... Kassie woke up and started looking in her closets and drawers etc... She was wide awake. So at about 3:45 AM she started going through all her clothes and started putting her favorite ones on the bed just like she did in the hotel. Then we had to try on every outfit until she had the one she was going to wear for the day. And I do mean for the day. She was up, wide awake and ready to go. She picked out a dress with flowers and ladybugs on it and her lady bug rain boots. Yes she wore the rain boots all day too. Jeff and I played with her until about 6:30 Am and then I went back to sleep for a little bit. But Jeff thankfully stayed up with her right through. Auntie brought Duncan over to spend the day and sleep over. Jeff and I missed him so much! He was gone to camp the week before we left and then we left before he came home! Two weeks without seeing Duncan was quite rough. Plus, Duncan was very excited to spend time with Kassie. Poor Douglas, I just couldn't take him overnight too. I'm just not ready for 3 overnight yet. Yikes!! I don't know how the rest of you do it. I guess we'll find our way. Anyway, Auntie got good snuggles because Kassie fell asleep on her lap.
