When we first had Claire, we pretty much just put her to bed right before we were heading off ourselves. It was fine because she slept a lot, and would usually be sleeping in her chair or swing right before we woke her up to change her diaper and give her a bottle. Over time, however, she stopped having those evening naps, at least on a consistent basis. We gradually started putting her to bed a little bit earlier.<\/p>\n
With the time change this past weekend, I decided that I could probably start putting her to bed quite a bit earlier. After all, even though it said ‘7:30’ on the clock on Sunday evening, it would feel like 8:30 to Claire, which was the time I had been going in to give her a bottle anyway. It’s worked out pretty well the past couple of nights, other than the fact that she woke up at 6:30 this morning for a bottle and diaper change. She went back to sleep, though, and is still snoozing; the only downfall is that I usually get up at 7:00 anyway, so I figured I might as well stay up and hence I have been up since 6:30. It’s not too bad right now; we’ll see how I feel this afternoon!<\/p>\n
It’s strange to have so much time in the evening now. I kept thinking it was later than it was last night. Our friend Brian arrived after supper last night, and we watched “Battle of the Blades” with him, and then we put on Sunday’s episode of “The Walking Dead”, and even when that was all over, it was still quite early.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what is on the go for today. I did most of my cleaning yesterday, so there won’t be too much in the way of chores. That’s all right though – it just means I can play with Claire, go for a walk later on, and do some writing when she has her late-morning or afternoon nap. There are leaves to be raked in the backyard of course, but I’m sure I can come up with some excuse not to do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
