It is 11:41 pm local time and Kaylin is wide awake. She was ready for bed at 7:30 and at 9:30 she was up and ready to play. Her body thinks it was nap time- 7:30 here would be 12:30 at home. Matt is in with her now and I hope she falls asleep soon.
I have also noticed that neither Kaylin nor Shane wants to sleep alone...so many new changes must be pretty scary for them.

Hi Matt & Sarah, Kaylin & Shane,
I hope the new house hunting went well today. I can't wait to see what you eventually end up with ! I went on-line to the babycentre.co.uk website to find out suggestions on how to get kids to adjust to the time Zone change. Here is what they say...
The BabyCentre Editorial Team answers:
Travelling with a baby or toddler can be tricky, and when it requires adjusting to a different time zone it can be even harder. But you can try some things to make the transition easier.
Once you reach your destination, help your baby adjust to the new time zone. Although her internal clock may tell her it's evening, try and keep her busy during the daytime and spend as much time as possible outside. The exposure to sunlight will help adjust your baby's biological clock.
Of course, if your baby is very young, or if your trip is short, you may find it easier simply to keep your baby on her usual "home" time zone. If your baby is very young and sleeping lots during the day it won't make a huge amount of difference to change her sleep times. Toddlers and older children may be better at changing their sleep times than babies. Or if you are travelling east, to continental Europe, for example, you may prefer simply to put your child later to bed in the evening and let her wake up later, which can be no bad thing on holiday!
Love you all and talk to you later...
Love, Mom & Grandma (Mana)
what great ideas Deb! You're such a good mom/grandma :-)
What a great way to keep in touch with everyone. love the pictures. Things will get easier as time the kids get use to the time change. Keep us all up to date.
