Nadia was very fussy and clingy with Paul from when I left for the dentist (2:45) until he put her to bed (6:40). I hope it goes better for them this afternoon. I assume she's just adjusting to giving up the 3rd nap. It was easier when we gave up the 4th nap because that was HER doing not ours. I still think it was the right thing to do though because she used to sleep 11-12 hours at night and that had shortened to 10-11 hours. In fact some nights as little as 9.5 hours. The last three mornings she's awakened between 6:10-6:30am which is much better than 5:00am. Last night she was only 15 minutes shy of sleeping 12 hours straight!
One difference I notice when I'm at work these days is that I am so busy! Although when we're full-time we technically can be on campus as few as 17 hours (if we don't have any meetings to attend that week), I used to be on campus far more than that. So now I must use every minute as wisely as possible. Even though I wish at times my hours at work weren't quite so hectic, it will have to stay that way as long as it's a priority to me to be there as little as possible in light of Nadia. The good news is that I have definitely spent less time at school this semester. Most weeks I only go in 2 days a week, and once a month I also go in on a Friday.

Ah, it is so hard balancing everything isn't it? I am working pt time too and find my days at the office can be extremely hectic given I have just as much work to do but, much less time to get it all done!!! It is a bit overwhelming but, of course I am grateful for the extra time I get to spend with BG.
Love the pics as always. Once Nadia takes off watch out... you may never get any rest! LOL
