Fortunately for Daddy & Mummy, I love aeroplanes! I was so excited to get back on the aeroplane to come back to Malaysia. We went up and down the aeroplanes 4 times throughout the long 30+ hours journey and logged ~ 23 hours of 'air time'.
Mummy and Daddy thinks I'm a real pro traveller now! I did not fuss or cry in the flight and was able to sleep in every condition... on Mummy's lap, in the infant bassinet, accross Daddy & Mummy's laps, in my stroller in the airport.... when I was awake I played with my toys and read my books. I got lots of compliments from other aunties and uncles on what a good girl I am (for not disturbing them) :D
All of us did not get enough rest while traveling, which turned out to be a good thing, because we did not have jet lag! From the night we arrived home until now, I slept through every night from 8/9pm-6/7/8am. Thank God for answering our prayer! Mummy was worried I may have jet lag because then Daddy would need to 'suffer alone', as Mummy left for Singapore on 4 days business trip the day after we got back to Penang. Poor Mummy got slightly sick with sore throat & fever due to lack of rest but she's much better now.
Can I tell you how excited I was to get back home? I couldn't wait to get my shoes off, get inside the house and start playing! I missed my toys, you see. I missed my bed too. I even missed looking at our washing machine.
D&M were afraid that I would change a lot after this trip and they will need to get me back to 'normal'.... but my memory is good an even though 6 weeks in a different environment I settled back in without problems. Examples:
1. I was happy to go back to Ah Mah & Ah Gong's (babysitter's) house every day
2. I have no problems sleeping alone in my own room again (we had to share a room in US)
3. I still know I'm not supposed to go into the kitchen
4. I play by myself in my play pen every morning
Somethings have changed.
1. I am very, very attached to my Mickey now. I don't want my hanky anymore!
2. I do not want to be friends with 'gu gu' at Ah Mah's house anymore. I cry when she comes near me.
3. I like to tell Daddy Mummy to turn on my Mickey Mouse DVD for me, while previously I did not know how to watch TV!
4. As a result of number 3, my dance moves are better! :)
Thank God for protecting our home while we were away. Our car started up right away after Daddy plugged in the battery too.
Home sweet home!
