My girls have been on a pretty strict routine since the day we brought them home from the NICU. It has changed, as they have gotten older, but we still have a routine.
7:30-8am : Wake up
2:00 until 4pm : NAP!
9:00 : BEDTIME.
This schedule seems to work pretty well for us. BUT, Christmas really messed things up! Christmas Eve, I let the girls nap till almost 5:30. They didnt fall asleep until after midnight. We woke them up around 7ish. They napped Christmas day from 3:45 till a little after 6pm. They were up late again(midnight), and slept in till after 9 AM the next morning! Its been like this every day since. Its driving me NUTS! When the girls wake up after 9, they arent ready to take a nap by 2. So, I try really hard to keep them awake until 7 or 8, but that never happens. I always walk out of the room at the wrong time, and boom, they fall asleep around 5 or 6 ... then they are up until midnight all over again! Its after 1am, and Claire is STILL awake. she napped from 6 until 8! This has got to stop! We leave town on Wednesday, and hopefully they will get back on schedule while we are out of town!

I hate when we get off our schedule! It is so hard to get back on.
Are you still coming today? I hope so. It will be fun!
Taylor had a few crazy nights last week and it drove me crazy. She was up at either 2,3, or 4. I was exhausted. We got back into town Sunday and she went to bed with no problems and is back on her normal schedule. Thank goodness.
How funny. I was just going to ask the same thing Katrina did.
I'm bringing the girls, are you?
Hope to see you today.
I'll be there! But im leaving my girls home. I need a break from them!
I hate when schedules get messed up. Have you tried purposely waking them up around 7 one morning? They may be grumpy but then they may be tired for a nap earlier if you do that. I have done that with Carter before and it worked pretty good.
Children need to keep on schedule, don't they? It makes our lives so much easier. Hope things are better.
