Hi there!

I know with the Ukraine you are dealing with older children and some language barriers. BUT I think if you keep some consistencies - blankets, a toy, clothes, and as hard as it is stick to a routine, you shouldn't have any problems. (IMHO)

We brought our sons "home" (in South Africa) to a B&B when they were 16 days old (from the hospital). BEFORE they were 4 1/2 months old we had gone on 4 short trips (3 times to a pediatricial approved game park, and to Cape Town) we changed B&B, spent a week in Johannesburg, flew to Virginia stayed for 1 month then went to Alaska for 6 weeks. I think kids (of all ages) are more resilient than we give them credit for.

However, we never, ever varied (well one time, but never again) the boys night time routin no matter how tired we were - bath, books, bed.
