I like the hour of extra daylight this time change allows, but I don't like much else about it.
Yesterday it took Rachel two hours to fall asleep at naptime.
Last night she was awake (in bed talking and singing) until after 10 pm.
Sure, she slept until 8:00am this morning, which was nice, but I'd really rather have her going to sleep at 8:00pm like usual.
Naptime today took her about 40 minutes to fall asleep. I guess that's an improvement. She's still sleeping, though I hear her stirring, and I'll get her up at 4:00 if she's not up yet, because I don't want another 10pm bedtime tonight.
My husband thinks they should just change the clocks a half hour one time and then be done with it, never having to have a time change again. I'll bet that anyone with little ones would probably agree with him. Time changes just don't work well for kids on a schedule.
In potty news, she pooped on the potty yesterday, which was exciting (yes, my life is really that dull that poop on the potty is exciting!). That's all the success we've had so far.
We're struggling through the time change here, too. I would prefer either not to do daylight savings time or to be on central time because I'm a morning person and like the extra light in the morning. And I don't like that it stays light until 9:30 in the summer and it's hard to get the kids to bed at a decent hour.
