I'll probably jinx us by bragging on the kids this soon, but it looks like we're going to adjust to the new time change just fine. Yesterday was a bit rough as they didn't take their morning nap. They usually only get a 30 - 45 minute nap anyway Sunday mornings b/c of church and they sat and played the entire time. Then we were off to church. Jake got pretty tired and cranky in the nursery (sorry guys!) and then crashed with Grandpa after lunch. He napped pretty well in the afternoon since he was so tired (I woke him up after 3 hours - he could have slept longer!), but Abby only slept 2 so she was pretty tired by the time bedtime rolled around. Which I guess was good, they didn't fuss at all about going to bed an hour early. They've been tired most of the day today, but did nap great.
I think it actually helped that I changed up their nap routine a few weeks ago. I don't think they would have done as well if they were still taking 3 naps a day. Although I have to say, I'm not looking forward to changing them to 1 nap a day if it goes anything like this time around (even though that's a little bit off). Most kids naturally drop a nap as they get older, but not mine. They loved 3 short naps a day. And Miss Abby is VERY resistant to any changes in her schedule. She is such a schedule baby and thrives on routine! The first week we changed things up I thought I would lose it. The second week was better and everyone finally adjusted by the third week. Then Daylight savings rolled around.
Well, hopefully I didn't jinx us and everyone will do just fine tomorrow since dad will be staying home and watching them so I can run errands. I'm really counting on the kids to keep themselves on schedule since I know dad's not as strict about it as I am. :-)
