As you know, we;ve just moved house. It quickly became apparent that though we've moved less than a mile away, we have a whole new world of bugs. One of them bites and it hurts like the dickens. Poor Layla. The other two, sadly, we think are some kind of termite. It would have been FABULOUS to know this BEFORE we moved in so we could spray the horribly effective and toxic stuff before we moved in. sigh.
Vic and I can trade houses - she needs her house sprayed as well.
On the upside, I've mentioned that there are 10 little girls who roam the sands in front of our house and about as many boys. Of course the boys stay away because they know our little one is only 2. The girls however.... are around all the time. We are learning how to manage this. I've decided to allow only 2 at a time because any more than that overwhelms Layla.
She sort of ignores them now. They play on their own in the playroom, but they will all draw together. Anyway. I'm just being very chill about it all and letting her to do what she wants. She only has gotten onto an arab ramadan schedule this last two weeks so she hasn't even SEEN her friends from school most of the summer. We tried at the beginning but they didn't wake up until 1130 or so and by that point Layla was almost ready for lunch and a nap! Not so great. Now, however, she stays up until about 10 or 1030pm and wakes up about 930am. Glorious.
Anyway. Do keep thinking of us as we transition and now as we head off to Africa for some much needed family time in the mountains where it is HALF the temperature we are currently at. Here it is 120, there it is 65 degrees. yikes.
