Home one Week Gone By

Don't have much time to post because there are so many things to do now that we are home and have a 2 YEAR OLD to chase! I am amazed at how much one child can get into in 5.8 seconds.  In summary, the 1st week was rough.  We were all exhausted from jet lag and not sleeping much while in China.  The boys did so awesome while we were gone.  Many people tell us how well they did, and I don't think they're lying!  I got sick and then Gracie wanted to be held all night but would sleep only in short bouts and then wake to make sure she was not put down.  She is now transitioned to the crib- last 2 nights. I hold her hand while she goes to sleep and no more tears the last couple nights (from either of us) and she seems to sleep much more peacefully.  She now chases the cats and pays little attention to the dogs.  Her and Mocha (my Australian Shepherd) forged a new bond last night when Gracie had two spoons w/ ice cream and did not notice Mocha licking one of them clean!  Issues w/ eating have decreased also.  I have some great pictures but no time to load them.  The boys are so patient w/ her little flips btw "I like you" and "go away"!  She's just like a woman already, Dan says.  Anyway, bottle time and bed.  Forgot how the evenings disappear w/ little ones.  Her antics are quite entertaining & if we could just get her to play for 5 minutes w/ a real toy rather than anything in a cupboard or on a shelf, it would help.
