The littlest pair of shoes joins the rest in the front hallway - we are home!! Finally!!! After a nine hour flight (don't ask) and a long ride from the airport we made it.Our last night in Hawaii was filled with fun. We picked up Ariana's passport, did some last minute shopping and then had a fancy dinner to celebrate mama-san's birthday. Ariana had her first Shirley Temple, which she felt the need to drink with her sunglasses on, followed by mussels, veal and sorbet...quite the gourmet my little one.
We said goodbye to Auntie Marilyn, who Ariana loved and learned many things from. Like how to simultaneously read a magazine and talk on her cell phone (which she now has so she will leave ours alone - it makes noise, which makes her very happy) .
We made it to the airport and on to the plane where Ariana fell asleep for a little while and then played with all of her toys, walked up and down the aisles and screamed. Frankly, after nine hours on the plane, I was ready to scream too.
Baba-san was there to meet us at the airport and we made it home, where the little was was very excited to see all of her toys in her room, wanting to play with each and every one. She was particularly fond of the ball...
and the potty chair, which has a little steering wheel with a horn...
Getting her to sleep was an entirely different matter. It was not going to happen in her crib. No. Absolutely Not. No Way.
We were both so tired we put her in bed with us where she slept until about 5am and then was raring to go and let us know that until I finally got up.
It is 9am and I am ready for a nap.

Ready for a nap?? I should say that you are about ready for a hibernation!! But no! Not until she goes to college, and even then, who knows. Enjoy every exhausting moment. I'm right there with you. See you next week!
