Hi all - I apologize for the hiatus in posts.  I was doing the working mommy track at a conference, and then I immediately went to visit a terminally ill family member in Iowa (I saw Senator Biden while I was there).  The family situation has prompted lots of questions from my kids about death and seeing people before they die.  That being said, I am trying hard to keep my kids on a sleep schedule as we work up to these holidays.  Here is an article I found interesting on sleep deprivation in children.

We were having the problem of kids sleeping in the car and since we’ve changed their bedtime, things have been better.  At the very least, the chart in this article will give you some guidance on sleep needs.
