Man, just when we get back to our regularly scheduled events in our household...it comes. Daylight Savings Time!!! So, what's the policy here? Do we still put Lily down at the "regular" times? Or will her bedtime be 8 now since it was 7 before? I've read that babies' schedules are based on circadian rhythms because obviously they don't understand clock time, so that makes me think I stick to the physical time and ignore the clock. Or is that making it harder? What are you doing to cope with DST?
Also, I have so loved hearing about all of your trips! I think I might add a section here for travel blog links. I love living vicariously through everyone else's photos, and like I said, the planning is half the fun for me. We still have no clue what we'll do, when we'll do it, and if we can even swing it financially, but we have so many great ideas now. AND, I have the most fantastic link for you. If you're having a bad day for any reason at all: dealing with treatments, struggling with decisions, dealing with stinky people at work, fighting with your husband, sister, friends, whatever, well, then take a visit HERE. Click through some photos of people's trips to Tahiti, my dream vacation and run away spot. How gorgeous!! I just love those over water bungalows...and maybe someday when we're financially caught up and we don't owe anyone anything and we aren't saving for a child or paying off an adoption and when hell freezes over:), we'll put money aside and GO :)
I can't believe I've forgotten to blog about this until now, but Miss Lil is saying WORDS. Only like three, but it's the best! She says, "HI!!" in a very excited voice whenever she sees someone come in the room. Literally, I'll step out for two seconds, but that two seconds is long enough to warrant another HI when I come back. :) And she says something like "dee dee" whenever she sees our cat. We take that to mean "kitty" in our house. :) And as of this morning, the ducks says, "gak gak" and the lion says, "grrrrrr." The lion sound is more of a grunt, but we'll take it! It's so cute; she has always been a really verbal baby, and it's funny to see her really try to mimic what we say. It never fails to blow me away how much they learn and how quickly! She's a little sponge! I told my husband SOME of us need to watch what they say around the house a bit more carefully:) Not me, of course! :)

Daylight Savings wears me out

Holy cow! Talking!! That's crazy! Ava still just says "dadadada" and "mamamamama" ad she doesn't really know what they mean, either! :)
Oh dear. They get so big so fast.
Oh, I forgot my DST comment.
I think we're going to try to push everything back another hour and go with body time. Because bed at 9 and up at 11:30 sounds better to me, for sure!!!
That's some exciting stuff! I didn't give DST a thought. Glad you are around to remind me that this could very well make a difference.
Oh the talking is SO.MUCH.FUN! Enjoy!
As for DST...I think you're supposed to start adjusting a week in advance, (10 minutes earlier a night) to ease the transition.
Or you can just do what we did--skip nap yesterday, stay out late, let MAM sleep til 11am (DST) today (CRAZY)and skip nap today...I'm thinking she'll have no problem with whatever "normal time" is tonight. Ha. Hopefully Lil will adjust--some kids are more sensitive than others when it comes to the time change. We travel all the time to the Central time zone and MAM adjusts quickly.
Michelle, I like your approach:) Thinking of it that way, when we went to Arizona, Lily adjusted in like one day to a three hour time change. I'm just going to pretend today's like any other day and follow the clock. Why am I such a worry freak? :)
LG isn't really on enough of a schedule yet for it to matter. I kind of like the idea of DST because then my husband gets to see LG longer in the evenings before bedtime.
