A Clock for Kate

Now that Kate is no longer confined to her crib, she has started wandering downstairs at all times of the night, asking "Is it morning yet Mom?". This is the same problem that we had with Emily--she cannot tell time yet, so when she wakes up she feels like she should bound out of bed.

So, in hopes of regaining our former full nights of sleep, we are trying the same thing that we tried with Emily - a Tot Clock! Today Kate received hers in the mail.

The Tot Clock is a wonderful invention. The face turns different colors (programmed by the parents) for different times of the day. For our girls, if the clock face is blue that means it's still night time, but if it's yellow then it's okay to get up and come downstairs. We also like that it has an analog face (for when they can actually tell time).

They can come with different faceplates, so of course we got Kate the pink one with the rainbow and castle. She loves it.

She picked a spot in her room and we set it up and programmed it. Now comes the crucial question: Will she obey the Tot Clock? I guess we'll find out tonight!
