Adjusting
We have been back for almost a week and it has been wonderful but also a little hard when it comes to adjusting.
The first morning we were here, Lily woke up at 5:30am. (way too early)
The next morning at 6:30am. (a little better)
The third morning (sunday) she finally woke up at 7:30 (the usual) only for it to actually be 6:30am due to the time change. (can’t I get a break!?)
It’s a 5 hour time difference that when it comes to bed and wake up time, kind of throws things a little off.
The best thing to do is to just go about the present time. Which is what we have been doing but, I must say I’m having a bit of a hard time with it myself.
Two nights ago I was asleep by 9pm and up by 6am.
Last night I was asleep by 10pm (a bit more normal) but, I’m writing this post at 6am and I’ve been up since 4:30am. (totally not normal)
The older I get the harder it gets for me and the more I notice things like daylight savings.
I hope to soon be back to regular timing. Whatever that is.
Here are some cell pics of our almost week here.
Oh! And I know I said I would start mamas&their babies when I would get back from vacation but, as you can see, I’m still adjusting. However, go see Natasha as a beautiful mama in her own mamas&their babies segment. And stay tuned becauseI have some beautiful mamas&their babies stored for you!
welcome to America shakers and Lily’s room within an hour of her waking the first morning
movie/snuggle/nap time and a morning fairy
waiting to go on a family bike ride and together again has never felt so good
at the Lincoln market, what are the odds? shakers from Germany and fierce shades
being silly Lily and a birthday bike ride to the park
a birthday walk with Elmo and birthday lunch at Front Porch
Lily in her room painting and her masterpiece
crazy girl wanting to brush my teeth and playing in her kitchen

Miami, feels good to be back but has taken some adjusting

So glad you had a great trip and are home. I know how you feel about adjusting to just an hour difference. We mamma’s really need to get more sleep.
