The nap is basically a non-entity at our house...and we're down to sleep at night only. Honestly, he usually sleeps pretty fabulously once you GET HIM to sleep (which is really the only thing that saves my sanity - if he woke up multiple times after going to sleep I probably would be committed somewhere.) So...that is the hard part for us...bedtime sometimes sounds like mass murder around here and I am quite certain we have done everything humanly possible to cure his sleep ills. I think sometimes it just has to be chalked up to the child, ya know? And ya just have to do whatever the heck works...(i.e. naps on the couch ;-)!) <br /><br />On that note, I pray fervently every night that Anderson will sleep like a dream because I certainly feel like I deserve it! I'll certainly pray the same for you when it comes that time. Ha!<br /><br />AND, I think it's so ironic that you found the perfect sheet set at Target because I JUST today found the perfect quilt for Schafer's bed at Target too! I was fretting because I've made a last minute decision to have the boys share a room and convert the other room into a playroom. I resisted for awhile, but now that we're moving ahead with this plan I can see it's going to work out MUCH better than converting a whole bedroom to a nursery that will rarely get used for the next several months. Anyway, I already had a bit of a them in mind for Andy's stuff so I was elated to find the quilt for S at Target that I think will go great! Funny the things that excite us these days, no?<br /><br />And Good Lord - I should have sent this in an e-mail or something. I get the award for oversharing in the comments section for sure!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217507746510288783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089543843890875715.post-8904813304427456012010-01-04T15:32:10.351-06:002010-01-04T15:32:10.351-06:00Chalna, have you read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy ...Chalna, have you read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child book? It has honestly been my saving grace, and they have a large portion dedicated to toddlers. It is not only about babies. I hope it helps you because that is so hard!!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982548260532714374noreply@blogger.com
