Today is the first day of the world series eeek! I fell asleep at 8 last night and slept until 5 when C woke up for a snack. OMG amazing. C went back to bed and so did I, couldn't sleep much more at that point of course so I just snuggled under the covers and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
We are trying other the PNP for naps in his room this week. He was so awful during the move I am trying to make it a more familiar space while still in a space he is used too... So far it's not been successful. :/
Happy Tuesday! I've had a full day at work today, and can't wait to get home to my babies. I had very very diluted cold brew this morning and I'm praying the baby can tolerate it. I NEED coffee. A has been sleeping horribly, and C is a newborn, so...
Anyone else have trouble with bed time? A has been a great sleeper for a long time, and suddenly she's having a really hard time falling asleep. I've tried shorter naps, earlier wake ups, later bed times...no luck.
I swear cleaning up for the cleaning lady is almost more effort than it's worth!
Yesterday I decided we should go swimming as a family at 6 pm. And we usually never do anything on a week night lol. LO has been flipping out at swim class the past two weeks. You know that kid screaming through the whole class with mom right beside the pool trying to talk her into it the whlole time? Yeah that's me! Ugh I felt like an ass.
The first week she did so well but week 2 and 3 was bad business. So we went swimming just to confirm that it wasn't the water she was afraid of. And of course she wasn't. She loves to swim. She gets her puddle jumper on and she's swimming around the whole pool and going down the slide right under the water. Clearly the issue is being solo in the pool so we are trying to talk is up again for next week and see how it goes. I know she'll have fun if she would just relax but you know it's like trying to reason with a 2 year!
lilyelayne hope he loved it! aggiebug yay for sleep for you. Hopefully C can get used to the nap changes quickly! agm04 A has been wanting to skip books and go right to her crib lately. Not sure if she's going through a growth spurt or what. She's also been throwing fits to try to get her way so maybe it's a developmental leap. Has your A been excelling at something new/different lately?
Busy day for us again here. It was rainy and in the 40s all day...hello Fall. We did the mall thing during the day. Back home, A pitched a fit at dinner because she wanted to have a tortilla chip (that I was sneaking). I told her if she eats her dinner on her plate then she can get a chip. It ended in a time out for her, no chip, and an almost full plate of food left on the table. Now I'm thinking, "do I give in too easily normally". She really was getting inconsolable. I'm gonna have to watch that. I think she's learning boundaries and I have to make them clear!
agm04 I can’t remember, is A in a crib or toddler bed? We don’t have a hard time at bedtime but sometimes G plays for an hour before he finally falls asleep.
mishka29 hope the swimming outing helps with lessons!
dreemkin sorry for the chip battle. Toddler emotions are strong!
dreemkin hmm maybe so. she's always growing and changing so fast, it's hard to say. she's definitely had a ton of change in her life in the last 6-7 months. au pair leaving, new au pair coming, baby born, starting school. it's a lot.

V is on the tail end of this. He was always great at bedtime then suddenly it was a no go. He'd be up and out of bed, no settling down, wanting this or that. We just have been working through it, keeping with his normal routine and now it's probably only twice a week now rather than every night.
lilyelayne sorry i didn't see your tag the other day! she's still in a crib. i've thought about switching but with all the other change i don't feel confident about it. and she still seems to like the crib.
kartish that's encouraging. she accepted a night light last night, and we started giving her a snack right before bed. last night was much better. hopefully that will continue!
