I don't care what anybody says. 5:45 is NOT morning. Anytime before 6 is still night time and hence, sleepy time. Now, will someone convince my daughter of this? She's been going to bed about 7:30-8 every night and not falling asleep until about 8:45ish after rolling around a lot and then has been up at 6 every morning (or 5:45 in this mornings case).
What happens when this happens? Well, first, Matt and I don't really relax until she's asleep so our night 'starts' at 9 when she doesn't fall asleep until 8:30-8:45. So we wind up staying up later--10:30-11 because that's 2 hours to ourself to do what we want to do. We go to bed and it takes me a few minutes to fall asleep. So I fall asleep between 11-11:15. Then she's up at 5:45!!
Look, I can handle the late bedtime if she'd get up past 7. But she cannot fall asleep after 8:30 and then still get up at 6. Then of course she takes really hard long naps since she's exhausted by 1. So I think I'll need to start waking her up earlier into her naps just so that way she'll go to sleep earlier, our night will start earlier and we'll go to bed earlier. That way if she wakes up early, we're ready for it.
Anyway, we have a LOT of household chores to do this weekend! I need to get two workouts in and I have a bit of shopping I want to do to. So it will be BUSY! I hope you all have a good weekend!
Tea of the day: Debating between coffee and tea, but I think I'll stick with tea--definitely black though!
