First, can I just say that I LOVE having these "problems"! Ok, now on to the serious business... Oh and new pictures are on the blog! It's in my siggy!

Katelyn is a night owl. Seriously. This kid I don't think has EVER gone to bed before 8:30PM. And that was only ONCE last night. It did not last. Tonite she was up until 9:45. So when she gets to bed that late, she sleeps late in the morning. Like 8:30-9:00AM before she is awake. 10:00AM before she is up and doing anything. She likes to lay around for another 30-60 minutes watching the dogs, watching TV or staring off into space while she rubs the sleep from her eyes. I'm not kidding. If she is like this now, what on earth will she be like when she is a teenager? LOL!

I wouldn't normally worry about her sleep patterns if Kevin and I didn't have to go to work in the mornings. If I stayed at home, it probably wouldn't be a big deal. She and I could sleep until 10AM if we wanted too. I am already stressing about going back to work the last week of December with her on this schedule! My start times at work vary from 7am-9am and we have a 40 mile trip into work. So, there are days I am up before 5am to make it to work on time. Trying to get Katelyn fed and ready for daycare in the mornings, I will have to get up at 4:30am and we will have to leave the house by 5:45. So her getting up at 8:30 will have to become a thing of the past. How do I get her to bed earlier in the evening. C'mon Mommies I NEED help
