Welcome to 'Waiting for TJ'

We have a family blog about our two daughters, Jiejieandmeimei.blogspot.com. When we began the paper chase for a young man named Tianjun, we created a new web home for him. Since he will be about 7 years old when he joins our family, and not an infant as Jiejie and Meimei were, we want to give him as much history as we can as a member of our family, starting with our first look at a photo of him.

Straight on Till Morning

It's 2:38 and everyone's awake. Not exactly the super-regular schedule recommended in the books for kids like TJ.  We had a midnight breakfast to make up for the dinner everyone slept through in piles on the sofas. The teeth have been brushed, TJ's with great opposition. He refused to put on pajamas. He is clutching a bag of cough drops like a kid in a Ricola commercial, acting out another ownership/control issue, and having a mini-tantrum downstairs with Daddy. I want to sleep. Meimei wants to watch "Kipper," Jiejie wants Meimei to sleep over in her new bunk beds.

Note for morning: look up ownership/control/hoarding and review chapter on how to set up a rigid schedule.
