Time Change Blues

The kids still haven't accustomed themselves to the time change yet.  This past week, while I have enjoyed sleeping in until 8 or 8.30, Hayden has been going to bed after 10 and Kylie has been falling asleep near midnight.  Not very fun.  Hayden is slowly getting back to a normal schedule, but, alas, I have come to the conclusion with Kylie that I need to cut out her nap.  NOoOOoo!  That nap helps keep my sanity in the middle of the day, but she has been sleeping about an hour for her nap, and Hayden is awake that whole time anyway, so I may as well sacrifice my afternoon so that I can at least have my night.  We have only been on this schedule for two days, but so far she has been good all day and going to bed at a decent hour.

Hayden is coming to love playing with toys.  He is always reaching for things, and now when he gets ahold of them they are finally making it to his mouth.  One thing he really enjoyed playing with was the grocery ads.  He would have so much fun playing with the paper while I made my grocery list.  He is also starting to laugh a lot more as well.  He has been laughing for weeks, but now it is easier to get him to do it.

Kylie has been watching a lot of Tangled lately, and she also found her little birthday crown that was tucked away.  So now whenever she watches it she wears it and she also likes to act out the scene where Rapunzel has the crown for the first time (wearing it on her arm, looking through it... etc...)  It is pretty cute.

On Wednesday Aunt Kelsey came through on her way back from California.  Of course Kylie was all over her the whole time, but she would never sit still long enough for a picture.  Hayden did though!

Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay also stopped in for Thursday night.  They came in way late, though, and left early Friday morning.  Kylie was so sad to see them go.  She always cries whenever someone who was visiting leaves.  She really enjoys playing with people.

Just wait, Kylie!  Soon enough you will have a little shadow that will want to play with you all the time!

(Oh, and Kylie has also been refusing to wear pants this week.  I don't know why, but maybe I should take this as an opportunity to try potty training again... maybe...)
