I didn't want to go down to one nap a day, I thought she needed more sleep than that and I knew I needed the extra break. But once again, I learned that what I want and what I think she needs isn't always the truth.
Since we've gotten in our new routine, she has not cried once during naptime. NOT ONCE. And this is the kid who would routinely scream for longer than she would sleep.
Now when I put her down for her naps, she rolls over and wave "byebye" to me and blows kisses, pulls her blanket up around her and snuggles her Mr Brown Dog and just waits for me to leave her.
I truly, truly, truly look forward to each day now. This has made life so much easier and I don't approach naptime every day now feeling like a failure.
Re: I cannot express how happy I am
Like when you try to hit "post" on the bump?
That's awesome Kat!
Way to go, Mar and Mom! I'm sure that's a huge relief for you.
What time is her one nap a day, and how long is she sleeping?
I have to admit I like getting two breaks in a day while William naps, but it definitely limits our activities trying to fit them both in.
