The first night we arrived the children were all very late going to bed. They went shortly after midnight which was just after 5pm at home. We followed about an hour later.

4.30 am I had a sleeping husband and four wide awake kids. They all settled again except the three year old. So I ended up reheating the room service pizza left over from earlier and feeding him pizza and juice and reading storied until 6.30am when he finally decided to go back to bed. I am really glad we have a house here rather than the hotel rooms we will have everywhere else. Access to a kitchen and a sitting room separate to the bedrooms was great.

Just back to sleep at 7.30 when I hear the boy awake again. Definitely Nigel’s turn to mind him.
