Dealing with the Time Change

All over Facebook this morning I saw various posts where Mom's were commenting that their little ones sleep was affected by Daylight savings.  Babies everywhere were getting up at what they thought was the same time as normal but was an hour earlier than normal according to the new time.  My Declan?  He slept until 8am, just like normal.  Weird kid.  How does he do it?  Up at 8am, breakfast about 9am. Nap about 9:45am and up just in time for the three of us to head down to Mapleview Mall for a couple hours.  Of course the car ride got him...little muffin fell asleep about 10 minutes from the mall.  He was staring off into nothingness and then...bam...eyes shut.

We arrived at the mall, got out the stroller, straped him in and we were off.  Now both Mommy and Daddy were long overdue for hair cuts so we stopped at a place in the mall to see if they could take us.  As it turned out they took us both at the same time.  That left little Declan hanging out in his stroller by Daddy watching while his hair was done.  I was down the other side of the place and I could hear him happily babbling and squealing away.  I honestly can't believe our luck that this little man is so well behaved.  It's nuts.

After the hair cuts were done we visited the food court for some lunch and then walked around the mall for a while longer before heading home in perfect time for Declan's afternoon nap.

This evening at home Declan had Vegetable Beef Spagetti for dinner.  There were little pieces of food and even some little pasta pieces in it and he still ate it up, texture and all.  He is getting to be a big boy.  He loved it...but still threw up a bit of it before bed.  I gagged a little.

Then came 6:45pm.  Finally the time change made a difference.  Declan was ready for bed and started fussing just after 6:30pm.  It was so sad.  The last day before I go back to work full-time and I wanted to spend as much time with the little man as possible and he decides he's done for the day.  In PJs and bed at 6:45pm and asleep instantly.

I already miss you.
