Revisiting the Past

Matt was almost one (1) when this picture was taken. It still amazes me when I look at these pictures that he was that small. He's had a rough week. The time change really threw him for a loop. Although he has pretty much given up napping, this week he has experienced getting tired around 3 - 4 o'clock. Both Sunday and yesterday, he headed into his room in the late afternoon hours and put himself down for a nap. Of course, waking up has been hard too....he's been wanting to sleep past 8 and school starts at 8:30 - 3 days a week. Also, Wednesday and today he was up in the early morning hours (3 - 4 o'clock) complaining of leg pains. Going back to sleep after these episodes took about an hour to an hour and a half, so waking up in the morning was really difficult (both school days). In regard to the kid's sleeping habits, it sometimes feels like we are going backwards in the area of sleepless nights. I always thought the older my kids got they would sleep through the night and want to sleep in in the morning. They are truly proving me wrong. Maybe some day I will get a full weeks sleep...that week will definitely be marked on my calendar as a momentous event.
