spring ahead

i'm hoping that the spring ahead time change is going to the be the new awesome for ben's sleeping schedule. instead of going to bed at 6pm and getting up between 6 - 7am, he'll start going to bed at 7pm and getting up between 7 - 8am! a great plan, right? well, he had a restless night moving all over his crib and then this morning he was ready to get up at 6:40am...which would be like 5:40am. what? so we ignored him, thinking he'd go back to sleep but instead he just played quietly (but not quiet enough that we could go back to sleep...) until 7:20am at which time, i felt guilty that we've just left him in there for so long and he's obviously awake. at which time i pushed tim out of bed to go get him and i rolled over and put a pillow over my head. haha. so maybe my expectations are too high for spring ahead. we'll see what happens tonight at bedtime.
