Babies don't catch on regarding Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time ended this weekend. And while many in this country issued a huge "yawn of relief" for that extra hour of sleep, that couldn't be said of our son.

Oliver, it seems, doesn't have a concept of what Daylight Saving Time means. When 6 p.m. rolled around yesterday, he was ready for a meal and then bed. His little 8-month-old baby brain couldn't fathom the fact that it was not 7 p.m.

And this morning? He was up and ready to go at 5 a.m., crying out to us with a noise that could be interpreted as, "Mommy and Daddy, come get me. It's 6 a.m. Time to start the day!"

Hopefully we can get him back on schedule this week. Otherwise, it's going to be a long winter.

      He was actually pretty good this morning, so hopefully he's already got it figured out. Those first couple of mornings were rough!
