Sleep

So, for some reason, Michael's dad, Tim, sleeps an awful lot. He passed that trait down to all four of his children, who sleep an AWFUL lot. As the spouse of a long sleeper, it gets pretty annoying - especially when your husband is a pill when he's tired. The good side is, he passed that on to Kara. Being the PARENT of a long sleeper is awwwwwwwesoooooooome. Kara has always slept a lot - and slept in late. I can get on board with this! As a baby, she was always on the high end, or past, the range a baby her age would sleep; and for the longest time (like the last two years), as a toddler, she would sleep from 9pm to 9am and still have a 2+ hour nap.
But now she's three and a half. I'm lucky to get an hour and a half nap out of her, and lucky to get 10 whole hours of sleep at night out of her. I don't know if she doesn't need so much anymore or if she's not getting enough exercise. (Although swim and soccer days don't make her nap longer or anything.) Anyway, I was used to her needing a lot more and planned my chores, exercise, Bible study, etc. around that. Now I have to.......adjust! It'll just be a few short months before she's in preschool and I'll have two extra hours back.
I'll try to enjoy as much of these last few months as I can. I'm sure one day when she's always in her room on the phone with her friends, I'll be dying for her to ask to watch 101 Dalmations.....AGAIN. :-)
