Late nights and Early Mornings
I am pretty sure that somehow along the way, God looked down at me and said "What can I do to mess with her today?" Well, I have two extremely different children. And I mean Polar opposites. I have one very high strung and attention getter boy to a laid back let mom figure out why I am so quiet girl. Along with these they have amazingly different sleeping patterns too.
Morgan goes to bed around 8-9 pm every night. It is like clockwork with her. She starts to get a bit grumpy, you ask if she wants to go to bed, she says no, I lay her down, she cries all of 1 minute and is out like a light. Then in the morning she is up with the freaking birds. She is very polite about it usually too. She starts out very quietly yelling at me until she is screaming at me to pick her up. No tears, just trying to let me know she is awake. I look at the clock and it is always 1 hour before I really need to be up. She is usually in a great mood and ready to get her day going.
Colin stays up until way past my bed time. Last night he was up until after 12 p.m. and tonight he was up until around 10:45. I am lucky that he actually sleeps. With Autism it is very common for them not to sleep. A lot of them suffer from insomnia. So I count my blessings that I am not up all night. He will sleep until 10 or 11 in the morning if I would let him. Most days I dress him while he is still asleep. It is rather commical.
So I am wondering if it is at all possible, if someone would look down on me and just let me go to bed at 8 pm and sleep until 11 am??? Please? :-)
