I have always felt that Miles is a creature of habit because I am. I like schedules and structure and so does he. He always does much better knowing what is coming next, how the day is going to progress and what he can expect. This new bedtime schedule has kind of thrown me for a loop because it's not our usual schedule. I am uncomfortable with it. There is no structure to it. We might just say 'off to bed' and he might hang out for a bit and then go to bed? What's up with that? What if he doesn't get enough sleep? What if he's tired the next day in school and has a harder than usual time? What if he gets into more trouble than he usually does? School is hard enough for him as it is and I am not talking academically...but behaviorally...he doesn't need any help from being tired. I feel like we had a good thing going as far as routine and then what? He went and grew out of it. I guess that is part of growing and maturing. I do know that intellectually but emotionally I can't help but worry. Worry about the nights and days ahead for him.
