Way out here in Alaska we have really short days in the winter and really long days in the summer. Right now we are having days that last about eighteen hours of daylight. When we arrived here last year it was the same way, but the babies didn't seem to have any trouble with the long days. This year, however, we are having lots of trouble. I can't really blame them because the light really tricks you. Really sunny days are harder because the babies get sun in their rooms until about 9:00 pm. I have black out shades on their windows and that helps a TON, but it doesn't make the room completely dark. Tonight we attempted to put them to bed about 8:00 pm. As you can see in the first picture, Andrew was having none of that. This is him standing, looking out of the window at 9:20 pm. It is still really bright outside.
I took this picture a few days ago at 11 pm.
The sun starts coming up by 5:00 am. Andrew is already an early riser and because of the long days he sometimes will get up really early. On this particular day he was awake and ready to party at 5:45 am. I took this picture of him sleeping in his car seat at 11 am. He didn't make it to lunch. He was really tired and out of it the entire day. I usually try to get him to go back to sleep but that day he just wasn't having it!!
