Ever since Christmas Iz's schedule has been all mixed up. To make matters worse she gave up her nap making it even harder to fix things. She has been waking up at 4:30 just about every morning and has an overtired meltdown around 4 every afternoon. I tried putting her down when tired but that led to her waking up at 2:30 so that only lasted 2 days. I have been trying to make the best of it and have actually adjusted to her new "day". She is very resistant to change so it became a matter of choosing my battles with her.
Today I woke up around 4:45 and the house was silent. My first reaction was to check on the kids because it was so unexpected. I imagine Iz being up most of last night had everything to do with this. I woke up again and the sun was up, it was 7:30 and only A was making noises. We got him up and started breakfast and tried to be extra quiet. I wanted her to sleep as long as possible so I could push back bedtime tonight without her loosing her mind or having another 2 hour meltdown (I wish this was an exaggeration).
Hopefully it goes well and we are rewarded with another later wake time. It kind of makes me laugh that at one point I thought 6:30 - 7:30 was early... those were the days.
