So so glad to be home...

but of course Matteo is on Vietnam time so he sleeps lots during the day and at night requires his play time!!...finally got our bags unpacked but am still working on laundry....helping three cats to adjust to a new child and help them understand he is not another cat, has been fun...two of them have accepted him totally and are a bit protective of him, while the third, Micio, sometimes seems quite relaxed and at other times still not sure what to make of this little moving "thing"....anyhow I do and will get back to the blog, do want to record our travel experience for Matteo to read one day and also update some blogs that were started in Vietnam, as I have lots and lots of photos to upload....tomorrow if all goes well, want to get some Christmas ornaments up through the house, no energy for all of my usual decorating and the playpen is in the spot where the tree usually sits, so will probably not put the tree up but do have a smaller one that will satisfy.....so all in all, I'm back to trying to sleep when I can, but a few too many things to do, so the sleep deprivation is the main adjustment....as for Matteo, other than a rash that he has on his face, from the rubbing around in the bassinet on the plane, (hope that is what it is) as when the lights went on, his face was all red...he doesn't seem to be bothered by it, only mommy is....so am trying to put cream on to keep it moist while waiting to hear back from the doctor...oh and the best news, as of last Tuesday morning, Matteo and I, our first solo excursion, got him an Ohip number....they accepted his passport, but wanted proof of my adoption,....I had my file and started to give him every document I had!!....and finally the Letter of no objection did the trick!!....so we have a new little boy registered with Ontario health...and speaking of little boys, he is crying so gotta go......

  2. I remember going to bed at 6pm and falling asleep so fast (it was almost on call). We didn't even attempt xmas decorations as we arrived december 14. Enjoy your time with your little one...

  3. Glad that you are home and getting into the swing of things. This is probably way too soon but FYI we are having an xmas cookie exchange party at our place Sunday December 19th from 3-5:30. No pressure but if you felt like getting out you could stop by :)
