The anti napper

B has been super anti nap lately. He fights it like it's the plague or something. And when his nap schedule is off he sleeps like crap at night. Oh the joys of being an overly tired mom with a (almost) 2 year old special needs toddler.

The other day he completely skipped his am nap and at lunch time he fought it for over an hour. He wanted to talk and play instead of sleeping. Sleep eventually came.

Then yesterday I held him and he still fought it. He likes to shake his head until he just wears himself out. Usually his paci helps him pass right out but since his teeth are hurting he wants nothing to do with the paci.

Finally he slept....
Oh B how I love you but you need to sleep!!!! Mom and dad are tired!!!! Trust me napping is good! Not some evil scheme we parents thought up to get some alone time during the day, it really will make everyone's life easier! LOL.

Wonder if he is ready to reduce the number of naps per day? Mine sleep from 12:30-3/3:30 each day. Only one nap but it makes for a much longer break!

We are down to just one long nap now. Usually, 1230-230 is when he goes now. And typically does pretty well. But this weekend he went on 45 minute naps Saturday and Sunday! It was more than I could handle!
