soon this will change to: up at 9 eat breakfast and go to the pool. Home for nap around 2, wake up and have dinner and back to the pool till at least 8 (probably 9), home for bath/bed. This was our schedule last year, pretty much every day at the pool.
Thank you ladies!! I've been trying to figure out if my kids are napping too long and why they are going to bed so late. They get up at 3:30 and won't go to sleep until 10:30 some nights so we started doing bath night every night and it seems to be working pretty good. They are usually sleeping by 9pm now. Thanks!
Wow! How are you ladies getting the almost 3 year olds to nap? I think my problem is with a 1.8 and 2.8 who share a room, when I try for a nap they just jump out of their cribs and play. But they also sleep 13 hours straight, so is a nap really needed?
