dreemkin V still had multiple naps a day of varying lengths. He doesn't really have a schedule since everyone who watches him does something different, but I wish he had some sort of schedule. I think it will be easier when he goes down to one nap, and I can instill it into everyone that he naps at s certain time.
In the days I'm home with him, he wakes up around 730, breakfast around 830, first nap around 10 for any where from 20 minutes to two hours.
Lunch around 12, second nap around 2pm, again from 20 minutes to two plus hours. Usually if the earlier nap was long, the second will be short. But sometimes they are each around an hour.
Dinner around 6 and bedtime starts at 8, he is usually asleep by 815, 820. He still wakes 1-3 times a night.
Our naps depend on our schedule. She seems to be generally down to one nap starting around 10:30 — 2 but if we are out and she takes a short nap in the car she will take another longer nap in the afternoon around 3
Another quiet day in the office. I am staring out the window, this time of year is so gross when everything is melting and mucky.
At home everything is pretty, and we had some people come and work on the yard for spring cleanup but DH told them they could tear out the grape hyacinths that were blooming, our only blooming flowers in the back. He apologized, but he thought that they'd grow back anyway so it didn't matter.
Dear G, If you're going to insist on being held while you fall back asleep & then for at least 30 more minutes in the MOTN, please have mercy and join me in bed. You would get snuggles, an all night milk buffet, and I would actually get more sleep. With love, Your mother.
I would co-sleep if my kid would sleep. Up at 4:15am. Around 5:30 he was sleeping on my shoulder, but screaming if I put him down. About 6 I tried nursing in bed and he ate and decided it was time to play with daddy. He took a nap in the car driving home from dropping me off at work and a longer nap midday. Wanted to go to bed at nurse to sleep at 6. I wish I could get him to go to bed an hour later and get up an hour later as was the plan to not adjust anything with the time change. But when the clock strikes 6pm, no matter the timezone, he thinks it's bedtime.

dreemkin DS gets one nap at daycare and takes 1 or 2 at home. Daycare or single nap is midday around noon and he'll sleep about 90 minutes to 2 hours. If he's doing 2, the first is 3-4 hours after waking and is about 45 minutes to an hour. The second is 3-4 hours after waking from that nap and same duration. Haven't been successful with a solid schedule since he can nurse at home and it's not as exciting as daycare, nor is there peer pressure to nap at a certain time.
They do start to transition from 2 to 1 nap around this time. Baby sleep site has good advice.
Guys I am never putting out into the universe that C is an awesome napper again. She didn't nap again today. To be fair, she fell asleep in the car (again we were with my sister) and Would. Not. Nap. when we got home. This is making my OCD cleaning routine go crazy.
But we did hit a huge neighborhood garage sale and I found some cute clothes for her. You win some, you lose some I guess.

I'm sorry! If G gets a car nap he won't take a crib nap. Though sometimes he will take two car naps in a day. We have that problem on Sundays often. Hope tomorrow is back to normal!
Signed DD1 up for preschool at my park district. That is if she can be fully potty trained by August. The girls have never been in daycare so I'm nervous to leave her but it's only for a few hours 2 days a week. I really hope she stops being stubborn and just starts using the bathroom regularly. She would love "school".
Today we went to my ILs bc my SIL and bil were visiting with their LO. SIL always waits until the last minute to invite us. This time she invited us to come for a few hours...it's a 45 min drive, I have to worry about meals and naps so no a couple of hours doesn't work for us. We went for lunch, naps and dinner lol
So bil is very antisocial and was out all day doing whatever. When he got back SIL and him and their LO went to their room. DD1 was looking for her cousin so she went up and knocked on their door. Bil opened the door and told her she couldn't come in bc they were having a family moment. Seriously?!? Who says that to a 3 year old? I can just imagine the look on her face. DH went up and took her away and then referred to bil as a f'ing asshole (but I think he had closed the door by that point so I don't think he heard).
DS did great at his haircut and looks so handsome. No screaming like the kid before him. We got it trimmed to keep the natural style. He got a certificate and a few locks of hair to keep. He was enthralled by Paw Patrol. He almost never gets to watch TV so it was exciting for him.
I am working at the hospital again today. DH might take the girls to the zoo if it's a nice day and I'm jealous. But I did get to go the other day (without him) so I guess I can't get too mad. I just hate working weekends and feeling left out when I miss stuff. I WANNA QUIT!
dreemkin hopefully potty training sticks so preschool can happen! And half a day a couple times a week sounds like a good way to ease you both into it. mishka29 your BIL & SIL's behavior sounds really odd to me. Sorry you put forth the effort to visit and let your kids see their cousin, and that was the response you got.

Going to borrow a ring sling from one of the ladies in my local babywearing group. She texted me this: "There may be a horse roaming the front yard. Don't worry; he's supposed to be there." I had to laugh.

We took DD to the zoo this morning. Of the animals she actually saw she had two reactions, either not really sure / slightly afraid or she'd get really excited and point at the animal and yell "dog". She napped in the car on the way home for like 15 minutes, so who knows if we'll get a real nap this afternoon.
I was late to work today and when I got there I realized I left my keys at home. I for let in to my boss' iffice, but the spare key want there. So I gave up and left. I'm working from home now but it's hard not having all the things I need. But also nice.
Good we get along pretty well, and fil is not here which is huge! Tomorrow it will just be the 2 of us well and DD. I have almost blown it numerous times keeping things quiet, but I think she doesn't know. I will be ready not to hide anymore!
