We got here a full day early, because last time all of us were so out of it from the lack of sleep and the time chance that we had a hard time even remembering how to walk. This time has been no different. Makayla is really a terrible sleeper anyway, but she esspecially doesn't like sleeping anywhere that is not her own crib, in the room she shares with her twin brother. We got a good 3 hours of sleep before she woke up in a panic last night and moved into my bed....where I "slept" the rest of the morning with one eye open, in fear that she would roll right out of this tiny little bed. All in all, she got about six hours of her usual 11 hours of sleep, and I got 3, maybe 4. Compared to our trip last time, I would count that as a big success.
The twerpette is napping now, but she spent the morning making all kinds of friends. The staff here adores her and likes to get in hugs and cuddles every chance they get. We took a walk downtown morning to the Akron Children's Library. It's a huge library complete with a cafe, and gift shop. The kids area has toys to play with and a booth for putting on a puppet show. Makayla had entirely too much fun and squealed with delight all through the very quiet library.
I'll be getting her up now, and we'll spend some time playing outside on the Ronald McDonald House patio until it's time for dinner. Tonight we're having some chili and salad and cornbread made by the local Amish community.
