Samster Sched Change

Since Sam was about 6 months old I have had him on the same schedule; two naps a day, morning and evening . . . then bedtime at 7:30pm. He's nearing 16 months old and lately his second nap is really short 30 min (does he REALLY go to sleep?) or sitting in there making noises for an hour and a half, getting mad near the end of the time. So I finally, after 2 weeks, have picked up on the clue that he's ready to mooove it down to one nap a day. Which is what I've been dreaming of for 16 months . . . cuz then he would be on the same nap schedule as his older and only brother. Ah, 2 hours of non-baby in the middle of the day! But today is the 3rd day. And with Samuel the third day is the hardest with schedule changes for him. So he was quiet for the first half an hour but is now protesting the nap time . . . and has been for about an hour. He's got 37 minutes left in the prison of Sam (his crib) and he then will be set free . . . by bedtime he'll be falling down tired. Amazingly it went fabulous yesterday . . . but today . . . no go. That's the pattern of Sam though, third sucks. Sometimes he even protests bedtime when his schedule is changed. I don't know what triggers that. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard of thing . . . but so goes life. T is sleeping right on through it! hee hee. I love my boys, they're awesome!!! I never thought I would love being a parent, but I do!

Oh oh, he's got 32 min left in the prison of Sam. :)
