First day back

Lots of visitors coming and going today. Andrei did great.

I ran to the grocery store and Brent and Andrei had fun putting all the ornaments in the house on the tree. Then Brent had to go to work and Andrei and I decorated more for Christmas, played with cars, played in the snow and really just explored the house and cleaned up from the trip.

Andrei's new best friend is Beaver the Cat. Beaver is very tolerant. Andrei tries to feed him radishes or cheetos, and covers him up while he's sleeping, and Beaver just looks up and probably sighs internally.
Larry the Cat, on the other hand, doesn't really like kids. He has been hiding out since we walked in the door, and I only saw him when I fed him this morning and Andrei was still sleeping. Aparantly he came out while I was gone and hissed at Andrei, after which Andrei found Beaver and told him to bite Larry for him - that's what Brent thought he said anyway.

He did okay with no TV, although I could see he was bored a little bit of the day. He got over that quickly. We set him up with Netflix last week, and he watched Scooby-Doo in English and then it was bath and bed.
The day went fast. I'm exhausted - I hope we all get mor than four hours of sleep tonight.
