Parents seem to always complain that the time change wreaks havoc on their children's rhythms, but I had always dismissed it. We rarely have to be anywhere first thing in the morning, so it really didn't matter if the girls got up at 7 or 8 or 9, or when the went to bed, for that matter. We could take as long as we needed to to adjust to it naturally.
The problem now, is that Rachel wakes up at the first hint of any light coming through their black out curtains. And when she wakes up everyone else has to, too! So Laura has still been going to bed at the same time she was used to (9:00 post time change) but getting woken up close to an hour earlier because of her darling sister. This past week there has been a lot of sleep deficit in our house. And lots of meltdowns, subsequently. I'm officially in the "Time Changes Ruin My Life" Camp.
It's been a week now, so hopefully they have mostly got it sorted out. Blerg.
