I have never considered that fact that Daylight Savings Time could wreak havoc to a child’s schedule. I’m sure this is something that all established parents know, but I had no idea! (On top of suffering from an awful earache), the poor kid hasn’t been ready for bed until 7:00 (usually goes to bed at 6:00) and doesn’t want to get up at his normal time.

We all fight the time change with caffeine-delivery systems such as coffee, but we’ve been hesitant to try that with the E-man. This has actually given me insight into how much DST (daylight savings time) affects each one of us. Although I typically try to downplay it or ignore it, the switch has obviously screwed up my system as much as the baby’s!

I stayed home with the little guy yesterday due to a fever and a terrible night’s sleep. We got in at the doctor’s office and he has a terrible infection in his left ear. This has been going on for a while now, and when we visited the doctor about a week and a half ago the ear wasn’t too bad so we all decided to lay off the antibiotics and try some Zyrtec (an antihistimine). These bugs really love the kid, so we’re back to the antibiotics that worked on the other ear a month ago. Both his mom and I had ear problems as children, and I even suffered some nerve damage as a result. I’m hoping this is just a phase and that he won’t have to go through what we did!

By the way, I’ll have more news on the law school front in my next post! See you then!
