Jetlag

U think adult jet lag is though, actually baby's jet lag is more rough, on both him and us.....

We have been back home for 4 days already, but sleeping is the most challenging thing for Yoshi (& us). Starting from the first night, he has been waking up in the middle of the night routinely, I mean like 3a.m., then 4, then 5.......and couldn't go back to sleep till 9a.m. When I said Yoshi couldn't go back to sleep, I mean a "sleeping battle". Whenever I put him back to his crib, he just cried & moving around, like I'm forcing him to stay in bed. I did everything to calm this little wild awake baby, even tried to fake talking on the phone with grandma, which he did keep quiet for a while, listening to my one way conversation on the phone, but sure it doesn't last too long .......So the new bonding thing: family breakfast together these few mornings.....

Then afternoon is a total different story. No matter what I did, Yoshi just couldn't keep his eyes open. Believe me, I tried my best because I know what's the consequence if he sleeps in day time..... I have fed him sour plum baby food; cook yummy congee, sang his favorite songs (over & over again), read stories, pulled out all the toys in the house, I even opened the front door so he can breath little cold fresh air.....and u think taking him out every afternoon works (just as what he was used to the noises in the past 5 months in the cities...), but the car seat ride must be too comfortable, he just found a new sleeping spot......AHAHAHA!! So now at 6:30p.m. I finally have to gave in, because I just can't carry the heavy bag of rice anymore, and when I left him alone with toys or sitting on the chair, he fell asleep. The final moment was even I have his favorite spoon with yummy congee right at his mouth, but his eyes just turn into lines, right in his sleeping mode with deep sleeping sound.....goodnight my dear. I will wake u up in an hr & hope tonight the jet lag battle won't last too long, mommy want some sleep too....
