So the kids never got the concept of an “extra hour of sleep” in the fall. They did catch right on to “lose an hour of sleep” this weekend. In fact, I think they were confused about the just one hour part of it. When we turned the clocks back in the fall it was such a long day. When you move it forward it’s like you’re in a race to keep up. The kids went to bed pretty late the night before (9pm) because we were having dinner at a friend’s house. I said to Bill as we were going to bed “maybe they’ll sleep late!” Oh you fool. You never learn, do you? Catherine was standing by our bed at 7:15am (which was actually 6:15am to us)
I jumped out of bed and rushed to keep up with the clock. I got the pancakes on the table by 8am. The whole family was dressed by 9:30am and ready to head out for a visit. Naptimes were 12pm sharp. Things were looking good!
We served dinner a little later than normal because I think we got overconfident. Maddie rewarded our schedule keeping by crying for a solid hour before falling asleep. You can’t put one over on her.
