log entry from Tim

Good Morning, It is 3:00 am on Wednesday, I am finding a moment to write a little bit because the fire alarm in our Hotel just went off. Fortunately they were able to tell us, in ENGLISH, that they had found the false alarm and were getting it shut off. Well done DAD, no one else moved, so it wasn’t too bad. Hindsight being 20:20, I guess this is one reason to stay in one of the nice Hotels that cater to business, they seem to always have someone on duty who speaks English. We got the hotel though my wife’s last minute searching after the recommended travel agency left us hanging, and I was very disappointed by the price, but it is a great sized room for the three kids, we can separate them when necessary and it has a kitchenette. It is the Qubus in downtown Wroclaw (Old Town).

The kids are stabilizing a bit which is nice and some activities are getting easier, but they are certainly learning where there is latitude. Maciej is feeling better from his head cold/runny nose and is getting a little more antagonistic with the others and a little less responsive to requests for his attention. Michal is being really good, but tends to punctuate most good times with a tantrum because he doesn’t want to leave. We will have to work on that, but sometimes it is kind of funny, since he doesn’t know what we are saying either, Bethie will just look at him and tell him to get it out. And we will let him cry for a little while. Emilia is the best eater followed by Macciej, whom the orphanage ladies said would be the problem one. It is tough to find things the little guy will eat. For snacks they are definitely fans of fruit and yogurt. Although contrary to many reports we had, they aren’t especially fond of veggies.

They were very good last night which was a great wonder. I think it was mainly that I was so tired I was able to fall asleep with some of their talking.
