love or hate daylight savings time??

Since I am an east-west commuter, I am constantly driving into the sun.  This is unfortunate for Zoe.  There are no back seat visors for the little one.  She just gets blasted by the sun every morning! Poor thing.

"Bright sun, Mama! Turn it off!"

So right before we turn the clocks back, the sun gets especially wicked.  Zoe resorts to covering her face with her blankie or kitty-cat or sometimes a book.

Sometimes it's me who has to hold up the book to block the sun from shining in her eyes.  So, I'm just a crazy lady driving down the freeway holding up a book, or magazine, or coloring page just the keep the sun out of my baby's eyes.

Sometimes though, she just has to suck it up... 

(By the way, these pics were all snapped while safely stopped at traffic signals.)

Now that the clocks have been set back, we leave while it's still dark out.  No chance of sunshine in the face (yet.)  But those first few days were confusing to her.  One morning she never opened her eyes while she was dressed, hair brushed and carried downstairs to the car to go to day care.

So what's easier, dealing with the shrieks because the sun's too bright or trying to dress a limp ragdoll because she doesn't want to wake up?

Love daylight savings time or hate it??  The jury's still out...
