For my probation period at the new job, I had to change my hours to 7:45 til 4:15. (previously 7:00 - 3:00 w/ 1/2 hour lunch) Ally would wake up at 5:20 - an hour before I needed to get up, we'd go upstairs, she'd sit with me for 5-10 minutes, then want breakfast. I could get her somthing to eat, flip Disney Channel on and go take a shower. I hate getting off that late in the day though, so I switched my hours to 7-3:30 (hour lunch). You wouldn't think that would affect our schedule, right? Wrong. Now, she either wakes up at 6, or doesn't wake up at all 'til we get to daycare, and I start changing her clothes. I think she does it on purpose just to drive me crazy.
We were having problems again with bedtime, but I think that was linked to my hours too. Getting home that late in the day made it seem like I had a lot less time with her in the evening, and wasted an hour in the morning, cause I was too tired to do anything. Rob pointed out to me that I wasn't being consitant with bedtime, and was confusing her. So anyway, we're back on track it seems. 3 nights in a row with absolutely no crying at bedtime. Hope it keeps up!
