It’s official. Oden is no longer napping for us during the day. It had become such a battle to get him to nap. Sometimes playing in his room for 2 hrs before crashing. Then he’d fall asleep so late that I’d have to wake him an hr or 2 later so he would be able to go to bed at a reasonable hr at nite. And then bedtime would become a battle. Again, playing for an hr and making too much noise (ie. waking Shai) before crashing out too late 930-10pm.  Then he started waking way too early in the morning, 6am instead of 7am. Jon was totally missing out on his morning down time.  I was feeling bad for us both!!

SO that was that! This wk he’s been nap free, instead having an hr or 1.5hr quiet time.  It’s working out well for our 3 y.o.!!

He’s now waking up at about 7am. Having quiet time around 2pm for an hr. Then dinner at 5pm followed by a bath. Daddy would get home around 6pm and play w/ Oden until bedtime at 7pm. So not only does Jon get back his morning down time, but we both get nite time quiet time.  It’s been SO lovely…  I have my husband back to myself again.  We can have a nice dinner just the 2 of us. Kid free adult conversations.  I love it!! I love my boys, but I need to love my husband too!!  :)  Sigh…
