We arrived home last night exactly on time. We had such a wonderful group of family and friends that met us at the airport. I can not thank them enough for their love and support. Liam was in a great mood. He had slept on the plane so when we arrived, he was ready to go. Alex and Callum just adore him. It was so great to see them interact. We had to put Liam in a car seat for the first time as we were leaving the airport. He did not like that at all. At one point, Callum looked over at him and said, "stop whining, we are trying to watch a movie." Of course, he did it lovingly:0) We just cracked up. Nothing like putting him in his place. The funny thing was, he did. We didn't hear a cry out of him after that. When we got home, we told the kids that although it was after midnight, they could stay up and get to know their brother. They had him laughing and smiling for over an hour. We also told them that they could have a sleep over in our room. We meant on the floor, but we ended up with all three of them in our bed by this morning:0)
Today, we got up and just hung out. We spent 2 hours looking for sandals for Liam. Who knew that it would be so hard to find size 5 boy sandals in July, but 6 stores later, we finally found some. We then went and hung out with my parents and sister and brother-n-law. I thought for sure that Liam would be overwhelmed. There were 7 other kids there. Instead, he chatted away, and played along. I think that he is a bit over tired now though. Bed time was a bit hard tonight. We tried for over an hour and now have resorted to Gareth driving him around to calm him down. Hopefully tomorrow will be better in that department. Starting tomorrow, we will really try and get him on a routine. We didn't follow anything today and it is showing now. We are all very tired, as the week has caught up with us. Hopefully we will all get a good night's sleep and have lots of energy tomorrow.
