Naps, or not...

For the last two days my toddler has taken amazing 3.5 hr naps (granted, her bedtime was rough, laying awake for an hour before falling asleep) so today she decided that the 2o min nap she had in the car was plenty. When I tried to lay her down after being all around town she quickly and quietly got in her bed with her book and baby and "read" to herself and then laid her head down for about 30 - 45 minutes, but sleeping, no way! Oh well, hopefully bedtime will be easy.

Sleep...when do we get to have more of it?

My daughter has been sleeping pretty well in the last few weeks, but in the last 4 days she has been a mess again! Last night she slept well, but she was up at 5:00 am. I thought I would just try to get her to lay down again, but when I went in there was nothing doing. She had a wet diaper and was already asking for breakfast. Oh, well. Hopefully she (we) will be able to take a good nap today. At least she is happy right now, I hope it sticks.

Sleep Success...and failures!

Calling all parents! Do you ever feel like you finally have the whole sleep thing figured out just to find out that your toddler finds a new way to thwart your effort at a full nights sleep days later? I just finished bragging to all of my "mommy" friends that my 13 month old has (no a better verb is had) been sleeping from 7pm to 6-6:30 am pretty much every night. I guess she must have heard me, because now she is having a hard time going down again and I feel like I am back at the beginning of the "sleep training process" again. Does it ever end? She will at some point develop a routine...right??
