Mommy, I'm Awake Now!

Day 2 of No Nap. This kid. Won't nap. "Mommy, I'm awake now!" he says as I check to see why he's making such a racket in his room. He's been unable to nap lately, only napping about every other day. I'm not ready. I need my quiet time. 

I don't think implementing a "quiet time" is going to go over well either. He wants to come downstairs and play. Be with mommy. 

And I've failed at making the time boring. I typically put on a show (almost always Curious George) so I can have my break time as well. Well, he likes tv, so this doesn't make him want to play in his room... He's also right next to napping Sam, I don't trust my toddler to be quiet enough. Harrison needs more practice playing on his own at home, he's great when we're out at playgroup or school, but he wants me to play at home. 

At least I completed my task even with Harrison. Finishing their Trick or Treat bags and making treat bags for playgroup/Halloween. 

Authors note: I'm trying to write more. I feel as though I'm missing too much and I love looking back at my old posts. 

Day 3 No Nap: Done with today. Tantrums and sour moods have been following no naps. He might think he's ready, but I don't think he is. He at least had a solid car nap on the way to grandma's, which is a very rare occurrence. Between Harrison not napping and Sam not sleeping at night, my brain is mush. Tomorrow, I'm expecting a dramatic battle over nap/quiet time.
