Vivienne was either an easy baby or a horrible sleeper. I don’t remember the early time changes at all with her. I think maybe one time I was awake pretty early with her, thinking it was 6am and it was really 5.

This year, not sure why, both Vivienne and Henry are just killing me with the time change. Henry, my normally easy sleeper, is back to taking 3 naps a day while his body adjusts. Vivienne woke up at 615am the first day of the time change. We tried our best to keep her up last night, an hour past her normal bedtime (at 730pm) in order to trick her body back into the regular schedule. When she got up at the crack o’ dawn on Sunday morning, she told me to “Just go back to sleep in her room” while she watched tv in my bed with Phil ignorantly snoring away next to her.

Instead, since I was so unbelievably annoyed that I was awake so early, I just went downstairs and read some emails, made coffee and watched some Tivo until Henry woke up.

At one point, Vivienne came downstairs and asked why I wasn’t sleeping. It took all of my restraint not to throw the computer at her head.
