Day two was another hard one. We had a very early appointment for the health release checkup. Out the door at 7:30am after a jetlag night of little sleep. At least Tasha and Ryan slept through the night.
On the way we discovered that apple juice and Vitali's driving don't mix. Jacki wound up wearing a bit of barf for the morning. Traffic was very bad and we were running late so Vitali was even more aggressive than usual.
The checkup was fine. The doctor made sure we understood that she's a very bright girl and is manipulating us already. She cries if you put her down and instantly stops when picked up. The doctor noted there were no tears during this observation.
Next stop, the passport office. At this point Tasha did fall asleep in the car while turning into a sweaty mess. The snow suit just doesn't work in the car. The Russian way is to crank up the heat in the cars.
Back to the apartment and finally relaxing again. Jacki did finally get Tasha to nap. She had to lay in the bed next to the crib and couldn't look over at Tasha or the crying would begin.
Nap time over and with a few songs and some timing help from Ryan we're into giggle mode. Oh, and so far everything has been a hit for food except goldfish.
