Sleep

Sleep…this is something we have not been getting much of in our house lately. I want it back!

The boys have been a bit thrown off since the daylight savings time switch two weeks ago. Their days go well but then they are always hungry for dinner by 5-5:15pm and ready for bed by 6:30 pm. (Pre-time switch we usually ate dinner around 5:45-6 pm and were ready for bed around 7 pm.) This has cut our evening time together short but they were still sleeping in until their normal 6-6:30 am time…

…until this weekend. Wyatt all of a sudden started waking up and acting like he was ready to get up for the day at 5 am on Saturday morning and has been doing the same thing every morning since. Colton has been waking around the same time (or shortly after) but part of that is due to being woke up by his brother, I’m sure. The only other strange thing is that Wyatt’s waking up crying and he isn’t in a good mood like he normally is, so maybe these lingering colds we’re fighting are part of the problem as well. Or teething, as his top two front teeth look really close to breaking through (yes, the poor kid still only has 2 teeth!) – you can always blame it on teething! Colton was definitely struggling with his cold last night – crying every half hour-hour. Poor kids! Ah, the joys of winter-cold season.
