Up With the Sun

Our kids have always been up with the sun. So, they both have dark shades on their bedroom windows! With the time change, it doesn't seem to be enough in Avery's room...so I added another layer of "protection" against the morning sunlight! Yesterday morning, she woke up to go potty at 6:15 a.m., and saw through the bathroom window that it was getting light outside. She kept looking at the window, probably thinking, "What's going on here?! Its still really dark in my room!" Then she asked "can I get up now? go downstairs?"
"Not yet, still night time," was my response.
And then she slept 'til 7 a.m., which is more like it. Otherwise, the girl is ready for a nap by 10:30 a. m.!
As for Bryton, the time change has been a blessing w/ his school routine. He gets up on his own, with the sun coming through his windows before 7 a.m., and he goes to bed easily at night, since its dark earlier.
Now if the weather would reflect this time change! We feel like we should still be outside playing after dark, since it is so warm!
