12 Hours of Sleep = Nice


For the last few days Leia has been sleeping a fairly consistent 12 hours a night. Her schedule is to go to bed at 7:30 PM and wake up at around 7:00 AM. Six days ago it was chaotic as she was in China time and adjusting to Eastern Standard Time.


We sort of have her on a schedule now. Up at 7:00 AM, feed, play on the floor for a few hours, nap, feed, play for a few hours or take a stroll at the park, feed, play, and then sleep. It has been fun so far. Every day we see something new come out of her.


Today she showed some courage by playing in a big empty cardboard box with me. We laughed inside together. Later we went to Nina's barn where she flipped out when the very nice yellow lab came close to her. It takes time of course.


She is really the guiding star in my life now and I love seeing the small changes and steps forward she makes.
