Rebel Against Daylight Savings Time

I feel like you don't really understand the gravity of daylight savings time until you have a child. If they are too young to read a clock then they go about their schedule without any notice to the difference in time. If they went to bed at 7:00pm before, now that you have lost an hour they go to bed at 8:00pm. At least this is how it has been everytime the time has changed since Ryan has been born, well everytime until this time. Ryan decided to instead rebel against the whole day and sleep right through it.

My wonderful little boy who wakes up at the crack of dawn every single day slept until 10am this morning. He woke up and was fine, not sick, just apparently tired. He went down for a nap at 1:00 (I thought he would skip it but when we hit noon we could tell skipping nap was out of the question), he then woke up at 3:00 and went back to sleep at 6:40pm. I'm hoping he was just getting back on track after a few weeks of too little sleep and will start a normal schedule tomorrow(that doesn't involve any wake up before 6:50am). But if I have learned anything from having a toddler (or really a child at any age it seems) it is to prepare for the unexpected, I guess I will just have to wait to see how this particular cookie crumbles.
