Thank You Daylight Savings!

Typically I think daylight savings is just dumb, but I have to say it really worked in our favor this time around. I have complained about Ella getting up early in prior posts, but this week she has gotten up between 7:30 and 8:00 every morning. On Saturday we put her to bed at her normal time, then set the clocks ahead and she got up at 7:30 instead of 6:30. Therefore we were able to put her to bed an hour later Sunday night. I was skeptical about this actually working, but lo and behold, Monday morning she got up at 7:50! Hallelujah!! I feel like a new woman after actually getting a good nights sleep! I am sure after I post this she will wake up at 5:00 am tomorrow, but I have thoroughly enjoyed these last few days. It is also nice to put her to bed a little bit later. It is hard to get home some nights early enough to get her ready for bed by 7:00. So thank you daylight savings for making my life a little bit easier!
