Schedule Sabatoge: Day 4

Day4:
7:15 wake up
8:45 breakfast in the car
12:45 lunch
1:30-??? nap
5:15 dinner
9:30 (10:00?) bed

Argh! 7:15 again this morning. Ok, ok, we can handle a little regression. Still, I thought we might have it. I was a bit disappointed. Benj, on the other hand, slept in until 8:30. I think we're killing him. That boy loves his sleep. :) On the other hand, if he was *that* tired he *could* nap, which he still refuses to do, so I guess I don't feel too badly!

I'm posting early today because I already know what our schedule will be for the rest of the day. Wednesdays are crazy already so no purposeful schedule modification needed today. The only variable will be how long Talia will sleep at nap time.

Cereal in the car again this morning (on the way to church). Lunch and then straight to nap. (Trying to send Talia to AWANA tonight with an inadequate nap?--I'm not even going there.) So I'll let her sleep as long as she needs. I'm willing to inflict this experiment upon myself, but I'm trying to spare the public. :) We will have an early dinner at church and then the kids are off to AWANA until 8:00. By the time I gather all 3 kids and all related jackets, backpacks, crafts, and other paraphernalia it will be 8:15-8:30ish so we won't get home until just before 9:00. I hope to feed the baby and get all 3 in bed by 9:30 but that may be major wishful thinking so we may be looking at another 10:00 bedtime. Take THAT, Schedule!

7:15 wake up! Boy I pray for days like that. Naomi is usually up by 5:30 every day. I try to ignore her until 6am, but it doesn't always work.

Let's put her in a toddler PhD program. The late nights and all-nighters will SERIOUSLY mess up her schedule. ;-)

Seth, she can major in doll development. I'm seeing potential here....

"Becoming" (not sure if you want your name attached...you know who you are.) I KNEW someone was going to say that sooner or later. I know, I'm totally spoiled by my kids wake up time. But I do have to say that I know from experience that 8:00 is the time they need to wake up to get all the rest they need. It just gets ugly with any less than that. :)
