I guess one more post on the jet lag tag wouldn’t hurt, but only to report we finally seem to have fully adjusted. Last night was the third night we all slept straight through (although I was up a bit late working). That means it took my two year old six nights to adjust to a nine hour change, my three year old five nights. Looking back on it that actually seems pretty good :)
Hopefully this will be my last post on the jet lag tag. It’s Saturday morning, our 4th in Paris, and everyone is still sleeping. My son was up at around 3am again, but after a few hours he eventually fell back asleep. That’s real progress.
I, meanwhile, am watching A Bug’s Life on my iPhone, retweeting the new symfony components site, and waiting for the bakery across the street to open. I could really go for a cruisant right about now.
The kids were up early again this morning. I think it was 3-something when I glanced at my watch. Recovering from jet lag is definitely a multi-day ordeal.
Once this half of the world wakes up I’ll be heading into Sensio and hopefully resolving our mobile phone concerns. I think we’ll all feel a bit more comfortable venturing out into the city once we have phones, especially when the kids are in tow.
I’ve got some fun symfony work lined up with Fabien, but it’s probably prudent to be a bit stealth right now. I will say this will be very good for the community — growth type stuff.
It’s 5:40 now, my wife and I are wide awake, but the kids are both sound asleep. Our downstairs neighbors are probably just as happy as we are.
Well, it’s around 3am here in Paris, 6pm back home. I think I should learn how to apologize and say “jet lag” in French, should we meet our downstairs neighbors tomorrow…
Surprisingly, none of us did any research on helping kids get through jet lag. I just now read one article online that suggests you “take the first two days off.” We’ll probably end up doing that. The current plan is to wake the kids up a bit earlier than they would naturally sleep, but not let them get over tired. Hopefully we’ll all be adjusted in a week.
