Sleep

My post have usually been about the progress Susie has made academically, socially, and behaviorally. However, there is one area of Susie's life that has improved drastically in the last year and that is sleep!               

 One thing to know about the Williams' kids is that they don't require a lot of sleep (some say they get it from their mom). Susie has never been a great sleeper. She had a very erratic sleep schedule taking random naps through the day, falling asleep at 6:00 pm just to wake up at midnight. She would stay up until 2-3:00 am and then be up for the day by 6:00 am. It was a crazy schedule, and quite exhausting for all of us.

Things didn't improve when Susie started school like I had hoped they would. She even had to miss a few days of school because by 7:00 am (the time she was leaving) she was falling back asleep from a night of partying. When we decided Susie needed her tonsils out I heard that it might help her sleep! She had her surgery on March 16, 2023 and slowly her sleep started to improve, as did mom and dads! 

Now, although it still happens on occasion, it is rare for Susie to have a sleepless night. Susie usually puts her self to sleep, without a fight. The interesting part is, you never know where or how you might find her! Just this week we couldn't find her and she had climbed in her brother's bed and fell asleep! Susie is a much happier gal when she sleeps, and that helps lead to her progress at school! 

Enjoy some photos of Susie sleeping!!
