Nap training is going well(?). He's putting himself to sleep much easier than I thought he would. I've laid him down twice now and he was able to fuss himself to sleep within 20 minutes each time. Still trying to figure out the best way to approach it. The first time, I took him upstairs and just laid him down after being awake about 1.5 hours. There was a lot more fussing with that one. I went in twice to pat and shoosh, which he thought was hilarious. Second time, I took him upstairs agter about 1 hour 40 minutes of awake him, held him on my lap to rock for a few minutes and then laid him down. No patting or shooshing. It took less time for him to fall asleep and he didn't fuss the second time.
The problem (I'm having) is that I'm putting him on his back to try and acclimate him for daycare. He's a belly sleeper, so he's able to fall asleep but he's only staying asleep for maybe 30 minutes. I tolerated it after the first nap, but this second one he woke up at an 11 and was very clearly not ready to be awake. I caved and put him on his belly and he was back to sleep in minutes.
FFFC: I'm starting to feel like I'm way overthinking this parenting thing the second time around because of reading this forum. For example, DS1 also didn't nap at daycare. His teachers were like, "I mean, he falls asleep here and there but won't nap in the crib, so he's not getting much sleep here. He's not grumpy or anything, but is there anything you want us to do?" Like a classic FTM (?), I shrugged and was like "Well he naps fine for me and sleeps 12 hours a night so I guess KOKO?" I feel like....I don't know. Like leaving well enough alone. It seemed to work out fine for my oldest.
Holy Dear Diary. Tl;dr: Nap training is going ok, but I feel like I'm trying way too hard at parenting and want to revert back to my blisssfully ignorant FTM self that didn't read parenting forums and has a preschooler that appears to have turned out ok.

I got an email about presale, too, but they required you to enter your AT&T wireless number in and I have Verizon. I'll be mad if there was just a simple code you had to enter, so don't tell me. Ha! I haven't been to a concert at the Meadows (and I will always call it the Meadows) in YEARS. I used to go all the time when I was younger. This will be like a blast from the past going there. At least I have seats and not lawn admission (oh hell no).
