The past couple of days have had their ups and downs. I think the hardest part is reading our daughter Maggie. At one point she is confident and telling me,"I can go up myself and ask for more nakpins..." at the counter of the restaurant. And does and next she is missing her Teddy Bear which has become code for
"I am not alright with what is going on." Katy and I try and make the time for these sudden outbursts of "I am not OK." We even fool ourselves into believing we can now, after only 7 days, predict how a day will go.
So what has happened since last we posted?
Katy continues to settle into work and I start on Monday. We met and interviewed a nanny who will start with us Monday. She will primarily watch Nicholas for us and take care of Maggie after school before we come home for dinner. This is a short term Nanny until we transition to our permanent apartment in March.
Our air shipment arrived. I have to say it was like one of those world war 2 movies where the beleaguered paratrooper surrounded and runing out of supplies see in the distance allied aircraft coming just as they run out of food with a supply drop. Now you can of course buy everything we were waiting for in our air shipment in Hong Kong. As far as I can tell you can buy anything you want here. But we were down to our last diaper and last set of wipeys. "Please Nicholas can you hold off for another hour?" I think thanks to a little constipation, he did and our resupply of diapers, toys, clothes came without a hitch.
I suspect our routine will start to settle in this week. I think we will have it down just as we turn everything upside down again and have to move out and into our new apartment in downtown.
