This is just a quick post . . . a little late since Mommy and Daddy napped while Sam did, instead of posting. . . Also, there are no pictures for those of you who are only looking for them. . . Sorry.
We were not able coordinate dinner with Michelle, whose crew had already eaten with the Browns on Arbat Street, and the Frolows who were trying to pack to leave this morning, so despite Sam's objections to being all bundled up, Mommy and Daddy put Sam in his snow suit, put his hat on, and wrapped his face in his scarf, and made the walk down to the Starlite Diner, since Mommy and Daddy were dying for a Chocolate Milk Shake. We had those plus dinner, while Sam munched away on his fruit dessert, and then ate some Cheerios and told us he was done, by throwing the rest on the floor.
When we got "home", it was time for Daddy to give Sam his bath, while Mommy relaxed. Daddy got almost as wet as Sam, but he has learned that bathing is fun. We now have to let the water out of the tub in order to convince Sam that the bath is over. Then it was quickly into PJ's and time for bed. Sam went down rather quickly, so Mommy and Daddy also went to bed, since they too were pretty tired, since Sam did not take his full nap yesterday.
This morning, Sam must have had some type of scary dream, since at 4:00am, he woke with a scream. Mommy got up and consoled him, while he was in his crib, but as soon as Mommy took her hand off him he would scream again. We took him out of the crib, but he refused to go to Daddy, and after 10 minutes he would calm down, but if you went to lower him into the crib, he got upset again. Mommy then took Sam in her arms and laid down in bed. It seemed that Sam calmed down, but then decided he did not need to sleep, and he wanted to play in the bed, proceeding to kick Mommy and Daddy. After about 1/2 hour, and a kick to Daddy's jaw and Mommy's breast bone, Sam was put back in to his crib.
Because of the lack of sleep, Sam woke as a cranky baby, which made breakfast fun. We met Michelle, Margaret and Ayden for breakfast, to say good-bye as they were leaving the hotel at 10:30am. Breakfast was cut a little short, when Sam decided to have a temper tantrum, so Mommy took him to the play room where it was safer to act up, while Daddy went to the store to get some more water and Coke. We all then played in the play room, with Sam going into a few tantrums when Mommy or Daddy would take away a non-age appropriate toy (the room is designed for 1 -14 years old, but we think no one older than 5 would play in there). Around noon we came upstairs for Sam's lunch, and then time for a LONG nap. Today Sam was nice and slept until 4:00pm, so Mommy and Daddy also made up for our lost sleep from last night.
