Our trip, as expected was incredibly encouraging, and tiring. Before leaving our helper taught me how to use this carrier. I used it 2x and in general I did not feel too comfortable with it. I think I will return to the Ergo.
Even though we spent the whole long day traveling to arrive, I still wanted to make it to the Sunday night market which is so much fun. I recruited a friend to go with me (jetlagging from returning from the U.S. ) and we made our way. I was looking for these skirts which the girls loved and wore OUT.
Our hotel overlooked a lake, which Sophia dubbed 'the lake of shining waters' this a reference to Anne of Green Gables, which she hasn't fully listened to yet, but she likes to name things like Anne, and stole this straight from my quotes of Anne.
We braved the dentist, Bella's first time, she did pretty well. Sophia did great and sat there and received a fluoride treatment. She reminded Dr. Joy that if she stopped sucking her thumb she would get a gift, and Dr. Joy did remember.
Tobin waited in the waiting room with Mommy.
David did have to hold Bella while they looked in her mouth.
The gift was a real Barbie. We thought this a little much. Sophia loved it. We are not so sure about Barbie yet, but she loves this one, her one and only.
Thanks Dr. Joy for being a great children's dentist.
Below the girls show off their 'English' school stuff. Bella cried every day at drop off, but loved it by the end of every day. But every day was the same: 'I don't want to go to school'. Sophia, on the other hand, laughed and loved it every day. Then cried on the last day on our drive to the airport, leaving 'English School' and all her friends.
This man is my hero. I can't say more. But just trust me. Amazing man of God.
In the new airport, on the way back. We waited about thirty minutes for our bags, so we set up camp.
She has retreated to being a full-fledged thumb-sucker again. School and sickness set us back. Our trip was great though. More July scenes coming soon. Maybe.
