Shhh ... don't tell Girly I'm telling you this ...
It has finally happened. She has become a reasonable napper and is getting up at a reasonable time. (Cue hallelujah chorus here).
Everyone kept telling me that after she started walking and expending more energy, she would become a better napper. This just wasn't true for her and I have my suspicion that girls (of the calmer variety) just don't get that busy until closer to their 2nd birthday. Within the last month, I have started to be able to count on a 1 1/2 hour nap at a minimum, closer to 2 hours on average, and 2 1/2 hours on a great day. It is heavenly.
The week or so prior to daylight savings, she had started to sleep until 6:00am every morning, with most mornings at 6:15-6:30am, and even an occasional 7 or 7:15am!! Daylight savings threw us (and everyone else) for a loop for just a few mornings, and even 5:40am was bearable because I knew it would have been 4:40am not that long ago.
I don't know that I can take any credit for this (though, I still swear the sleeping/dancing cow clock helped), but I'm so so SO happy that her inner clock has lined up a little better with the rest of our household.
Here's to hoping that it happens at your house, too ....

I could kill daylight savings time! Charlie has been waking up around 5:30am every morning with a poo (again... it used to be 6:30am before DST). So, I have been going in, changing him, hiving him milk and putting him back in bed while I tell him "It's too early, not time yet." He usually will go back to sleep for at least 45 min. One day he slept almost until 8 am and I thought he had died in there!
