Today Chris had Jury duty. We were up at 4:30am because we could not sleep anymore. Saiya was awake, sortof, so we made breakfast at home. She was a little cranky and kind of zoning out when we were getting ready to go around 7:15. She fell back asleep in the car on the way to the courthouse. I dropped Chris off at the courthouse around 8am and then met my sister for breakfast. After breakfast, we went shoe shopping for Saiya. I thought we did a pretty good job getting her shoes in China, but apparently the ones we bought are too small as well. My sister is the expert, so we differ to her for all things kids shoes. Saiya was having a bit of a melt down after we ate with my sister. She was very tired and cranky and zonked out in the car on the way home almost immediately.
Saiya spent the whole day playing with Sebastian and Syrafina. I was a little worried she would ignore them like she did all the other kids in China. She was a little apprehensive at first, but once they sat down and started to show her how to play with all the toys in the toy box, she fell right into step with them. We watched the kids while my sister was in school today and Saiya played all DAY! She had a blast! I am so glad that she is finally coming around to playing with other kids.
She had trouble going down for her nap this afternoon like yesterday, but after about 45 minutes of crying, she finally fell asleep on her bedroom floor. I had to move her to the car when Chris called for me to go pick him up from the courthouse. She slept the whole way in the car and the whole way home. So, today, she had a pretty good two hour nap. At least she sort of fell asleep in her room today.
We had a nice dinner with my sister and her kids and then a bath and off to bed. Chris and I are both getting sick, which really sucks, but we are working through it. I can only hope that Saiya doesnt pick it up. Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow. My sister wanted to go to Orlando to swing by the outlet mall for shoes for Saiya, but I dont know if we are really up for it.
Saiya comes and goes with Chris. Today she hasnt really given him the time of day. He talks to her and she looks at him, but doesnt really respond. She responds really well with my sister, but Chris, she is still needing a bit of time. Sometimes she is great and other days, like today, she is unresponsive and indifferent. She didnt even want to give him kisses good night. I know things will get better and I can only hope that Chris is taking it better than I would. Poor daddy...
