So...on this day when Daylight Savings has ended, I find myself brewing a second pot of coffee by 8 a.m. and pondering this question:
How old does a child have to be before s/he looks forward to sleeping in that extra hour when we "Fall Back?" At what age does a child stay asleep, rather than awaking at his/her body's usual time...even if it is 5 a.m...?
I cannot yet answer the question definitively, but I can tell you this: A child must be older than (almost) 2 or 6...
Please pass the cream and sugar...

I have yet to answer this question either, but I can say that around 8 1/2 they get up and stay quiet for a while so that you can sleep in :)
I think it must be around 8 because Lexi slept in no problem, but Nikki was up wayyy to early.
See that? I'm so smart I answered your GREAT QUESTION!!!
