Every morning on Eye on the Sky, the local VPR weather program, Mark Breen announces how many hours and minutes of daylight we have each day. From December 22nd on, I relish the added 2 or 3 minutes that we get each day. I really notice a big difference this first week or so of March--it felt so good to eat and clean up from our dinner tonight without needing one light!
In the shift forward one hour, we are attempting to manipulate Timmy's schedule so that he sleeps a little later in the morning and doesn't crash at 6:00 every night. Presumably, we should just be able to keep things exactly as they are and he should move to a 7:00 bathtime and wake up at 5:00 AM instead of 4:00, right? We'll see. Day one didn't work out that well, but there's always tomorrow. How can changing absolutely nothing be so darn hard?

I love Mark Breen's Eye on the Sky, I look forward to it on my commute into work everyday.
My almost 2 year old has a schedule almost like clockwork. Before the time change, she would sleep approximately from 6pm to 6am. Now after the time change she sleeps from 7 to 7, not really needing to adjust to the time change unlike us adults.
We are on a pretty good schedule, although Timothy seems to be consistently tired... not sure how to get him to sleep a little longer, for naps and nighttime. He's just a light sleeper, I guess, but goes from 6:30-5:30 waking once, or 7:30-?... 6:00 one morning, 6:30 the next. We'll see how it works out!
