The Nap Dilemma!

So an update with the napping, we've gone back to 2 naps a day. He napped a wonderful 3 hours for me every day for 4 days straight, but he would get so hyper it would be worse than before with trying to put him down. I have to time it pretty good, because if i wait even 15 - 20 minutes too long he starts to get harder to put down again. But he now gets about 11 hours of sleep at night and about 3 -3 1/2 hours of naps during the day and goes to bed around 7:30 or so. I thought he was ready for the 1 nap a day, but he really wasn't. I'd try to squeeze in lunch before he'd go down, and he would hardly eat anything and be starving for dinner and eat too much for his own good. So probably in a few months he might transition to 1 nap but we'll see. I guess i was hoping he'd be on 1 nap cause i'd like to get more errands done in the morning or i'd like to go out for a while with family or friends without being strapped to that morning nap, but we do what's best for our kids!

Well, i gotta finish getting ready for church, i'll update later. We're having a lot of fun with Jason, Ellen, and Gavin in town! what a cute family! I'll post pictures later!

Oh the drama of nap time. Will it ever end? I somehow doubt it.

I liked the 2 naps routine, because then I could get something done while he napped, and still get in a nap of my own during his second nap. Enjoy it while it lasts.
