Jet lag

Every time we travel a significant distance, she's at a new developmental stage - with different sleep patterns, eating habits, play habits - and it means rediscovering how to handle jet lag, every time.

She just woke up from an eight hour nap she started at 2pm.  I shouldn't have told her to take a nap, and just dealt with an increasingly cranky kid instead, until closer to bed time.  Why I thought we'd be okay after a two hour nap is beyond me.  Even I ended up sleeping more like 4 hours.  

Note to self - unlike one year olds, who can sleep off jet lag in a day or two, three year olds need to play through the jet lag.

Lesson learned.

I hope.

Until the next time.
