I love daylight savings

I've never in my life looked forward to daylight savings time in the spring. In the fall, sure...I'll take an extra hour. But the spring? Never. I always dread it.

Except this year.

This year I am absolutely giddy with excitement over the change.

You see, my darling little boy poops every morning at 4:07 on the dot. EVERY morning. We listen to his grunts for 5 minutes, hear the thunderous poo and then the little relieved giggle afterward lets us know that it's time to get up and change him. We have to change him  because within 2 minutes that adorable giggle will turn into a peel-the-paint-off-the-walls scream.

I don't know how to change this rhythm he's found. We've fed him at different times, tried altering his bedtime, but nothing changes the 4:07 am clarion call of defecation.


I can't tell you how much better everything will be for us if that call starts coming at 5 instead of 4.

I hope it works how you want it to. My kids seem to adjust to daylight savings time within 3 days, no matter how hard I try to keep them thinking that nothing has changed. :-)

I HATE daylight savings time. I am in Arizona and we don't change time...so all my children are now in different time zones, from pacific to eastern. Ok I have figured it out, when to call and not to call. Next month we will go home to Utah and I will figure the new schedules....too much for this old brain to keep track of. I now have a chart for each change.

I hope he hasn't picked up on Daylight Savings. 5:00 is so much better than 4:00.
