the end is near
I'm crying just imagining it, but I think Leif is trying to drop his nap. I mean my nap. I need that nap.
For the last couple of weeks he does not want to nap - period. It takes like 2.5 hours for him to fall asleep, if at all. By 7:00 PM he is a little drunkard, walking into things and spewing nonsense. We just put him to bed and he sleeps a full 10 or 11 hours. If, by some strange chance, I got him to nap during the day (stroller, car, strait jacket) he won't sleep a full night. Waking up a couple of times, then getting up around 5:00 or 5:30 AM.
Anyways, here's to hoping it's just a little phase. May the universe love me and keep him napping for at least another year. Please.
Any ideas??

oh, dear God.
I'm so sorry, Rach.
I'll pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
Uh, my idea?
Let it go... :)
I so remember this with Orlando.
For a LONG time before he gave it up , I went on a walk in the afternoon to give him a nap (and me a break), but the nap was becoming so much work that it wasn't worth it to me after long.
That was when he was around three. Now, at four and a half, he naps a couple times a week. Just when he really needs it. So, the naps may not disappear for good with Leif. He might reach a new equilibrium.
Other ideas? I had a friend who would only let her son nap a half hour or so during the transition time. But that was a bit different, I guess, because if she didn't wake him he would sleep for 2 or 3 hours and then be up until midnight. So, uh, no, I don't have any other ideas for you. Sorry!!
But I do feel for you. ;)
