Adjusting to being in Sri Lanka

As I type this, I can't believe it has almost been a week since we left home!

One of my worries traveling internationally with Siobhan was how the time difference would affect her if at all. While on the plane and during our layover in Singapore, she took long naps, with the max in one stretch being 4 hours. As we arrived shortly after midnight on Saturday, she stayed up with us for the next few hours as we visited with family and settled in. The following night we were up late, past midnight again, visiting with Such and Dilini. By Sunday night, she was back to sleeping through the night!

Her food intake is another story! We are making sure she stays hydrated and at least eating some at every meal, even if it is just a fruit (mainly bananas) and sandwich, but the quantity is low compared to her normal intake. Hopefully she won't continue to miss out on all this yummy food!

As Damith's parents have a pool, we are taking advantage of it during the late afternoons. Siobhan still doesn't like dunking her head under the water, but each day she is getting more comfortable swimming (kicking and doggie paddling) in her floaties.

Surprisingly the humidity and mosquitos hasn't been that unbearable. But maybe we don't really feel it because we are taking more showers, playing in the pool, and sleeping with the AC on! While my hair doesn't quite know what to do, Siobhan's hair is kinky curly!

We will add pictures soon!

On our way...

Thankfully Steffen offered to take us to the airport. Had he not rang our doorbell this morning at 5:30 we would have missed our flight! We stayed up until 3:30 packing and tidying up (don't really want to return to messy house) and debated sleeping. Sleep won. We slept through the alarm, Steffen texting AND calling to say he was on his way! Got to DIA with time to enjoy breakfast and much needed coffee!

We had a really easy flight from Denver. Siobhan loves having her own seat and getting to watch cartoons on her own TV. We liked it too especially when she napped. 

We are now in LAX waiting for our flight to Singapore (which is now 30 minutes delayed). Will post updates and pictures as the trip goes on.
