Wow, Daylight Savings Time is not so easy now that I have a toddler in the house. My toddler is especially addicted to routine, and having a mandated change occur twice a year is no small potatoes! One whole hour! That’s tough to adjust to… That equals about a month of gradual change to Kaylee. By the time we get her adjusted to fall back, it will be time to spring forward.
I’m sure some lucky parents out there have a very adaptable child that can adjust overnight or within a couple of days just like the rest of us. But Kaylee is not like that. Not that I am complaining – she is perfect! If there was a picture next to perfection in the dictionary, it would be of my little girl. But she would also be shown next to predictable, at least when it comes to her bedtime routine.
I suppose this is a little easier to finagle than travelling across time-zones, which we did a couple weeks ago. That was definitely hell on earth (equaling no sleep for us parents). Although I blame the fact that we didn’t pack up her entire nursery more than crossing into Eastern Standard Time. My perfectly predictable little girl missed her creature comforts, which was blatantly obvious when we got home and she just wanted to hang out in her crib. No complaints from me there!
