Sleeping

Well - some of you know that Ian is an early riser. So early in fact that it is really getting to be a drain on Daddy and Mommy - Mommy especially! Daddy can stay in bed while mommy gets up to go to Ian. Starting this week we are going to get on a schedule - hopefully that will help and by the time daylight savings time happens we won't be waking at 3AM and I can adjust his schedule again to 6 AM. This morning was a little better- 5:45AM but of course I was up at 5 just waiting for him to wake up. I pushed his nap a little later this morning to 8:30 and hopefully we can get it to be between 8:30 and 9 each morning and leave time in the afternoon for an afternoon nap. The problem here is he doesn't like to nap in the afternoon and is exhausted by early evening leading to an early bed time. Last night we played after dinner - hard! He has learned that he can climb up on the couch (with help) and scoots to get down (again with help) but is getting bolder with his climbing. We've got to watch out!
