Taiwan: Day 2

Jetlag for the 6yo

Oh man it's rough. He only slept 5 total hours on the flight, then, Tuesday night, he slept 3hr, was awake until 4am, then slept 1 more hour. Mike had a terrible exhaustion headache so he kept sleeping but Percy and I got up. Mike got better after a bit more sleep. Mom showed Mike where the grocery store is, and we got a "American style" breakfast sandwich from a little takeaway shop across the street. 

Mom and I left the boys so I could go get my medical check for Immigration. Mike texted that Percy couldn't stop moving and his eyes were red. We got home, ate a small dumpling lunch (just so there was food inside him), and Percy and I napped for 2 hours while Mike worked. His eyes cleared up. He held it together for the rest of the day. When Mike went for a mini nap around 4:30pm, Percy wanted to nap, but my mom mentioned the children's art center and he was really excited for it so we walked to it and it was closed. Luckily, there was a neat sculpture thing to see. I didn't get a photo because Percy wanted me to play with it with him. Then we walked home just as Mike texted that he was awake. We got home, quick pit stop, turned right around, out the door again. We walked to the mall to get dinner and a Pintoo puzzle.

Wednesday night, he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow. Slept for 6.5hr, then was awake for 2 hours and luckily fell back asleep at 5am. Hopefully, he'll sleep until at least 7am.

We forgot to use the children's melatonin the night we landed and remembered on Wednesday night. Lesson learned! Use the melatonin!
