So you might remember my little experiment on New Years Eve that didn't go so well? Remember the little boy who never wanted to nap?
Well, I stuck with the books advice and kept putting Matthew to bed VERY early for a few nights. We're talking he was bathed and in bed by 6:30 or 7 at the latest. And you know what? Most nights he slept right through from that time on.
Then voila! One day, he started napping! Now, for the past week, he has consistently napped almost 2 hours in the morning and anywhere from 1-2 hours in the afternoon.
Wonderful, you must be thinking!
So, now, here I sit, writing this blog at 9:30 p.m. and my dear little boy is singing away in his crib to the music of his mobile. He ain't tired. He not want to go to bed!
What have I done!?!?!?
At least he's not screaming (yet).... he's just happily amusing himself by singing away in the dark!
Oh, just heard a big sigh... you know, the type when you're really bored and you can't fall asleep!
So what's better? The kid who naps in the afternoon, or the one who used to go to bed at 8pm? I'm starting to think maybe the boy who didn't nap wasn't so bad after all!
