Wahoo Weekend!

I'm getting nervous this will be a nap strike day like yesterday, so I'm scarfing girl scout cookies while I still can sans toddler.

Today DH decided that V needed a toddler bed....so V now has the front taken off his crib and the toddler rail on.

I forsee never napping again in our future along with near perfect bedtimes now obsolete; someone tell me I'm wrong?

[agm04]

lilyelayne i lol'd. i hope he napped for you! is he all better?

kartish i don't have any advice (we haven't done it yet), but i share your fears. we're staying with in laws right now, so DD is sleeping in a pack n play. every time i see her standing up in there i dart in to get her, bc i really don't need her to get curious about climbing out! i'm gonna ride the crib train for as long as possible. fingers crossed that it goes smoothly for you!

[kartish]

agm04 I wanted the crib for as long as possible, believe me! But MIL answer GMIL have been nagging DH saying he is ready so he was itching to switch. I've held him off for a couple of months, but he just decided today was the day.

kartish I know A wouldn't want to nap let alone stay in her room if we did that. Good luck. I'd tell H he's getting up with him then lol.

We did a mall day with Gma and Gpa. They had a good time. The girls did too 😂

Tonight is either game night or movie (rent) night! Not sure what we're doing for dinner though; didn't plan/make anything. It'd be nice to go out bc I feel like it connects us as a family and is a nice change of pace. Or I could always make a frozen pizza 🍕. I can't have that for Lent reasons but I could eat veggies or something.

DD is really resisting her naps lately too. I am certain we wouldn't be able to get her to stay down if we transitioned to a big girl bed but somehow they get her to take a nap on a cot everyday at daycare so it must be possible. She's in a sleep sack at night which has kept her from attempting to climb but she's made some attempts at nap time.

We rented the Trolls movie today because we were all home and DH and I were attempting to get some work done. She liked it but not as much as Frozen and Dory.

[kartish]

dmorgendorffer and dreemkin I hope your movie nights were fun!

V did not nap yesterday but we only had a minor hiccup with bedtime. However DH got violently sick last night and V had a terrible MOTN wakeup, and I overdid myself and am feeling pain in my incision area today.

So we are all taking it easy today and I'm hoping the boys don't get sick. And also hoping V will nap today.

[lilyelayne]

kartish hope you get to take it easy today and that your H feels better.

G did end up napping yesterday, yay! Today has been chores and the long delayed library visit. DH and G made friends with a dad and daughter while I picked out books. G made it to 500 books in the 1000 books before kindergarten program!

[dreemkin]

Last night we went to Chili's and rented The Secret Life of Pets. It's cute...took an unexpected turn...but cute. Today H is grilling chicken wings!! ETA: H did taxes today too and we are getting a nice return. Now he won't give up on adding on a 3 seasons room.

[dreemkin]

kartish hope you are all resting and feeling better today!

[kartish]

Way to go G lilyelayne! 500 books and a nap, not much better than that!

Things are going well so far this morning, so I'm glad about that. Naptime is up next though.

ETA, nap success!

I feel like I've had zero time to post lately. I've been the boss at work the last two weeks. Which means I made a little extra money and learned that I work with more assholes than I realized.

Today we went to a chuckie cheese bday party. Luckily there was only one other party so it wasn't totally crazy. The girls had fun.

We're working on getting the house ready for painting! I feel like finally picking colors was a major accomplishment! Lol

I'm amazed by how well LO's healed after her surgery. You can't even tell there was any issue!

We will be holding on to the crib as long as we can. LO is a little wild child so why creates problems until we need to.

[lilyelayne]

No nap today. And then SIL & BIL & the nephews came over, and the 4 year old didn't nap either, and they stayed up playing til after bedtime so there were lots of tears and loudness. Joys of family ;-)

[seamonster]

dmorgendorffer I'm glad she hasn't learned how to take off the sleep suit. That's how DS ended up going to a toddler bed. Who taught my kid zippers? But slumbersack and mr sandman sell 3-6 year sacks on amazon or their own websites.

DS no longer messes around at naps after a month of the toddler bed. So naps do get better. Eventually.

[seamonster]

Zoo this morning. Maybe the train in the park this afternoon.

DS had more stars at swim class. Maybe we'll make the next level before we stop classes for the summer and spend our time in our pool.

[kartish]

seamonster did you change your bedtime routine at all even you switched over to a toddler bed?

[lilyelayne]

Thursday: no nap
Friday: nap
Saturday: no nap
Sunday: nap including the ever so elusive car seat to crib transfer?!

Keeping me on my toes, kid.

No, but graduated extinction is a lot harder. He needed to get over the novelty of not being trapped and being silly rolling out. Some nights and naps are still a struggle. I'm rocking the jogging stroller in a coffee shop at the moment because he'd only nap on the go today, but he had those days in the crib too.
