5/14 - Our first full day in Mantua, OH USA started at 4:30 am when Kimberly woke up like a happy little kid. Today's breakfast was toast, rice and a few dry frosted mini wheats. We need to hit the store today for some kid food. She played around some and started to get familiar with the house, staying close to Dan. There were tears off and on a few times today for different reasons or no reasons. The morning started with tears every time I held her and Dan was out of site. She hadn't gone #2 on the plane, so we figured she was a little uncomfortable today (3 days worth). She was afraid of the little potty chair when we first put her on it, so back to the tub. After breakfast she went in the bathtub and we got results. In between entertaining Kim, we tried to unpack and get some things done around the house. I opened up a bunch of her toys and she started playing with anything that made noise or lit up. That worked for an hour or two, while Dan got caught up on the computer. Sometime mid-morning she took a three hour nap with me. Dan woke us up a little after 12 and we explored the house some more. I'm hoping this will put her close to the daily EST time schedule. She had a fruit cup, jello and tried tators tots for lunch. Dan took her for a short trip outside to look at all the greenery. In the two weeks that we were gone weeds took over the garden, the lilacs and irises have bloomed and the leaves have popped open on all the trees. The outdoors looks beautiful. Kim-Kim seemed to be interested in the chickens when they collected eggs. The tricycle was pretty cool, too, even though she isn't sure how to use it. I have found that nothing gets done quickly with a two year old. Around 2:00 we headed out for the day's errands: post office, vet clinic, Carol's, my parents and the grocery store. The post office was easy since she stayed in the car; the car seat was OK by her. She went in to the vet clinic with us to get some medicine for Silky's eye. She was shy at first and hid behind Dan, but before long was smiling at the girls and gave "five" to everybody there. Next she got to visit with Grandma Carol and Cousin Carrie. They were happy to see her. Next stop was my parent's where she played with Emma and Mikayla when she came home from school. She started out unsure but warmed up to them when they were playing with the kid's kitchen stuff. She even thought the baby toad was pretty cool and dropped the container, giving him a headache. Emma was the first to smell the messy diaper, which she volunteered to change and Mikayla wanted nothing to do with it. On our way to the grocery store Kimberly fell asleep, messing up my whole time schedule plan. Dan put her in the stroller and pushed around; she never woke up till we got home. For dinner tonight Dan made hamburgers on the grill. She ate a whole hamburger dipped in ketchup and some jello. Everything tastes better with ketchup according to Kimberly. She played with her toys some more and then had her nighttime bath which ended in a ten minute screaming, crying episode. Neither one of us could console her. Eventually she stopped the crying and sat in Daddy's lap, watching Deadliest Catch and munching on pretzels, while I did some laundry. Neeko was downstairs and beside himself the whole time the crying was going on. By the end of the night the dogs and cats were allowed to be in the same room with her, as long as one of us was there to protect her. I was able to bounce her upside down and she could touch Neeko's back with her hand and his tail would touch her face. She thought thwas pretty funny since she didn't have to look at his face. Charlie is fine so far, since he just lays around and doesn't move much. She doesn't even realize he is there half the time. At 10:00 she went to bed for me with a light up glo bear that she thought was pretty cool. She used it as a pillow and was out for the night. I wase able to go through some clothes and put things away and Dan did some of his work until we were tired and joined her. Sorry, we didn't have the camera out yesterday, but should have it out today for some more pictures.
