Well, today we had a trying morning. Both boys were relatively unhappy the whole session. Greesha was uncharacteristically fussy and unconsolable and Andre was sporatically fitful. Greesha wanted nothing to do with the playroom but Andre at least stayed in there with Jenny. I had Greesha in the bathroom area and then the hallway. He'd let me hold him for awhile and would stay focussed on switching lights off and on for awhile and then would spontaneously throw an all-out fit. The fit would last for awhile. He didn't want me to hold him but I didn't want to let him stay on the ground for fear that he'd hurt himself flailing around. In any case, we survived. Jenny had a little more luck redirecting Andre but he would also seem to throw tantrums for no apparent reason. I'm wondering if their medication has weird side effects or if they aren't sleeping well. In any case, we're happy to be getting the full parenting experience on our surreal trip half way around the world.

I hope the boys are feeling better soon. If you can find out what meds they might be on I can try to check for side efects.
love Dad
And the truth is - yes you are getting the full experience! Good thing too because you would be very, very suprised when they come home to live with you otherwise! And the truth is that when toddlers don't feel well, they are pretty miserable, but maybe the meds do have side effect OR maybe they have been with you long enough now to start testing you - to see if you will hang with them no matter what??? Hard to know, but ENJOY ;-)
You got to go with the flow Henriksons. Kids just do the darndest things sometimes.
