4:00 AM. Katelyn eats as normal but is wide awake and won't go back to sleep. By 4:30, I decide to check her diaper again, even though I had changed it first thing when she woke up at 4:00 - and what do you know - HUGE POOP, through the clothes, on the sleep sack. Yesssssss... so using the flash light to clean it up woke up Geoffrey (who was sleeping with us this first night because Donna and Gary were in the other room. ) Geoffrey kept trying to sneak out of the room while I kept trying to get Katelyn to go back to sleep while trying to get Geoffrey to lay back down. He opened the door and saw Donna, who had woken up thanks to the time change - and all was lost. If Nonna was up then he could be up, too! Sigh. So I put Katelyn down at 4:55 and then went out and told Geoffrey it was nap time in five minutes. Worth a try, right? Sigh. I made him lay down with us from 5:15 - 6:30 when I finally fell asleep despite Geoffrey's kicking and hitting me with his blanket, and whispering. Once I actually fell asleep he got up and played with Nonna and Grandpa and I slept until 7:30. That last hour felt AMAZING.
Gary and Geoffrey walked down to the beach, saw some sea turtles, and played at the playground. They came back around 9:00. Then, Donna, Grant, and Gary went to Walmart and Costco. Meanwhile, Kate, Geoff and I hung out at the condo and walked around outside a bit. Katelyn was pretty fussy today and spent very little time playing independently - she wanted me to hold her almost all day. She is getting very close to sitting up for longer periods though and she was happy when I was able to sit her up on the couch. Still, she did so well on the flight, we were proud of her, and know that the thime change and being someplce new is hard to adjust to.
Once everyone else got back, we went to the farmer's market. I was expecting mom and pop, but I wasn't expecting it to be so small - so few booths! We got some sweet onions, carrots, ginger, mountain apples, and Gary got me a lei. A Hawaiian woman came up to talk to me about her children and grand children and held my hand the whole time she spoke to me. After we finished shopping, we went to a grocery store to get the rest of the stuff we needed for dinner.
Back at the condo Geoffrey napped while Donna and Gary moved into their unit which is right next to ours... too bad we have to go doen two flights then up two flights to visit each other now!
Grant made a delicious dinner of Macadamia Nut Mahi Mahi, Hawaaian Sweet Bread, and rice with carrots and onions, and fresh pineapple. Delicious!
After dinner, Grant, Gary, Geoff, Kate and I went for a walk. There is a little blow hole just east of our condo. We watched that for a while. Then we walked over to Poipu beach and park. There are wild chickens all over the park and we found them up in the trees for the evening! Geoff wanted to get in the water so we stripped him down to his underwear and he played and splashed and "fished" with his "fishing pole" ( branch) while we watched the sun set. There was this very cool sand bar that led out to a little island of sand and rocks that we walked out to as well.
Such a great night. Bavk at the condo we put the kids to bed and relaxer with an episode of Newsroom. Night!
