Day 4- Poor Baby

I think all the excitement caught up with Peter today. He woke up crying that he was hungry but I could tell it was something else. He tried to eat then started crying. I asked him if he felt sick and he said yes. The poor thing got sick then (made it to the bathroom) and then slept for an hour. The American food has caught up with him along with jet lag. He just laid down on me and rested. (Do not freak ELO people. He does NOT have a stomach bug. His stomach is getting used to America!) During this time the Curfman's showed up so Andrew and Caroline could work on science and Colin and Abi could work on their ELO work. When Peter woke up, he was back to Peter again. We bought several historical figure books in China that are in English and Chinese. Because of this, we are able to "read" them together. He loved reading about the Wright brothers today. I was so excited! Aunt Jessi had bought him an airplane for Christmas so all the kids (who were mostly done with their work) headed out to play with it. It was nice to see them all get along so well. Abi came in and worked for awhile by herself and Caroline left to get braces. Peter and Colin played outside for awhile. They got along well but Peter did keep looking for Abi. ;-) Everyone came in and had lunch while watching Tom and Jerry. We found out that Peter does not like Mac and Cheese. :-( We tried a bit of school this afternoon and did the best we could. Andrew went to the ortho and all the kids slept on the way there and the way home. They are all still so tired! I spent the afternoon downloading pictures and Peter wanted to be right beside me building Legos. He was finally able to talk to my dad, who has not met him, and it was cute. Peter could play Legos for hours. He has a great imagination. We had dinner and Peter was so excited to eat. He does not like mashed potatoes though. He loved the broccoli and meat. He asked us for a bowl at one point and pointed to the butter. We were all confused but gave him some anyways. He tried and almost spit it out. LOL He thought it was ice cream! So after dinner, we rewarded him with ice cream. Well, his daddy did after he begged. ;-) We tried to prepare Peter for ELO but all he could focus on was mommy was not teaching him. I could not get him to understand that I would be there. We finally called Eric Hood who told him all about it. He was all smiles after that. We started preparing his backpack and he indicated he wanted to call Eric again. He talked to him quiet awhile and when (daddy) Eric asked him what Peter had asked, Eric told us that he wanted to know if he would have homework! That boy!!! No pictures today but I'm sure I will tomorrow. First day of ELO!
