Angel with a helping hand

Soooo . . . . we finally made it . . . . to JAPAN!!! :)

Flew to Seattle first, stayed overnight and the next day we went on a 12 hour flight to Osaka, Japan.

Now the thing I was most worried about flying, was my baby boy. He is generally an angel, hardly fusses unless he has a VERY good reason. Flying to Seattle, he cried during take off and wasn`t very happy, so I gave him a bottle to help calm him down. He eventually fell asleep and slept through the landing part.

The next day, thinking about that super long flight with Alyx made me anxious. But I shouldn`t have worried. The angel that he is, fell asleep half an hour before we took off and slept for a couple of hours. He woke up and we fed him, changed him, and played with him again. After an hour and a half or so, he fell asleep for about another two hours, woke up and we did the routine again. Close to 9 o`clock Utah time, he fell asleep, because that was his bedtime. He then fell asleep for the rest of the flight and yes . . . through the landing a second time.

Honestly, I didn`t expect my angel son to be so fantastic on that flight. With some help from above, he was the angel we knew he already always was.

Of course, once we got to the airport we hung around for an hour to catch our bus. While waiting, once in a while people would come up and talk to Alyx. They completely loved him!! Who couldn`t? After the hour and a half bus ride, we got a ride and met some people from the church we were going to the next day.

By the time we got to our place where we were going to live for the next two months, it was 5 o`clock in the morning, Utah time. We filled our paper work and hit our `beds` and fell asleep. Let me just add one more thing. It is VERY VERY HOT here and VERY HUMID!! haha.
