good intentions. i'm sure bean was full of good intentions when this conversation occurred.
i was reading her a bed time story when i let out a very large yawn.
"you yawned mommy!" she declared
"i'm sorry honey, mommy is just really tired tonight. i'll try not to do it again, " i reply and start back into the story.
she lays her hand on my leg and says, "don't worry mommy. i'll sleep good tonight. i won't wake up in the night time. i won't wake up too early. i'll sleep good for you." she smiles up at me nodding her head.
"oh honey," i say, "that is so nice of you." i give her a hug and kiss. we finish the story and our bedtime routine. she falls asleep rather quickly.
oh yes, good intentions. but not good follow through....
no, she didn't wake up in the night, but she did wake up at 7:15am. and since she has been sleeping until 8:00am since the time change, 7:15 felt awfully early to mama! i might be yawning at story time again tonight. hmmm, i wonder what she will promise me this time? ;)

What is with the sleep disruptions lately? Nadia's been sleeping SO poorly ever since the time change - taking forever to go to sleep, waking up multiple times a night and then waking up much too early. I'm TIRED!!!
That is the sweetest conversation ever - even if she didnt follow thru.
Same stories over here...waking up, waking early...but LOOK at that face, would you? How could you not forgive ANYTHING she does??
Ditto! Sleep is not happening here, either. Naps... oh those are on the "NOT to do" list... it's terrible!
From reading your post and the other comments I am seriously wondering if the time change hasn't really affected our kiddos sleeping patterns. I've been having a time and a half getting Bryce to sleep at night, keeping him asleep and then again with the early waking. Yeah, I guess a lot of us are yawning around bedtime. :)
