Moscow

We made it to Moscow. Guess what- Max is not a huge fan of the airplane. He sleep exactly one hour of the whole 9 hour flight. He had a bit of a breakdown durning the second hour. I was taking him toward the bathrooms when the flight attendant informed me that my child would disturb the 3 business class passengers on the flight. I took my terrified, tired, and screaming child back to our seats then this intelligent lady gave my TWO YEAR OLD markers to shut him up. The good news is he did not cry anymore but she will need to take a magic eraser to row 13 (and part of 14). They have some pretty tray tables!

The time difference is really difficult on the little man. We walked a few blocks to find some breakfast this morning and it was too over stimulating for him. Their were so many people and loud noises. He starts to breakdown if it gets too much. He was getting a little nervous at the Moscow airport. We found it better to walk him around our floor of the hotel. Even the lobby can be too much for him. He can do okay in the lobby for about 20 minutes. He is fine in the room! His new discovery is the flushing toilet. He fines this to be the greatest thing in the world right now.

I was lucky enough to run out and do a little shopping at the galleria near by. Cliff watched him for an hour so I could find him a bathing suit for the hotel pool. Tomorrow we are going to try Lenin's tomb and Gorky Park. We will see how he handles the big world tomorrow- like I said some days are better then others.

He is doing well all things considered. I really think we will be better to have him home were it is just us. Sorry no pictures- I am working off of dial up here in Moscow.
