So sad to see you go...

It happened last week and there was no stopping it.  That second nap of the day finally had to leave us... and I'm still quite sad.  I knew it was inevitable, but I was happy to hang on to it as long as we could.  But the time he was staying up between naps kept getting longer, and bedtime kept getting later, and I knew it was time.  So now Josiah's typical day is waking up around 6:45am, nap from 11:30-1:30 and bedtime at 7:30pm.   It's a stretch to keep him up until 11:30 every morning, but we've managed.  And after naptime, he starts getting pretty sleepy around 5:30 and that's been a bit tough too, but I'm sure he'll adjust soon.   He says "nap, sleepy, paci, blankie" and really wants to sleep! 

Now I just have to figure out how to work MY schedule around this!  I used to wait until his morning nap to get myself dressed for the day, but now I have to hop up as soon as I hear him start to wake in the morning and get myself showered and dressed super-quick before I get him up.  It does give us some longer stretches to be out and about though, so maybe that will be the positive side. :)

  1. YEA for the one napper! I agree with you though- 2 naps are better than one. Gosh I think Katie was 3 or 4 months when she started the 1-nap thing. But at least you've gotten almost a year and a half with 2 naps! And now he will go to bed nice and early...not a bad deal.
