As Ethan is crying in his room as he has been doing for the past 15 minutes, I thought I'd take this chance to blog my frustration. :) I just don't understand how an 18 month old doesn't want to nap - EVER! Well, that's not completely true because he loves sleeping in the car. He would probably sleep for 3 hours in the car. But at home? Nope, 30 minutes and he's done. I just don't get it. Cara and I had a no-nap club meeting the other day because it seems that all of the other kids are napping 2 or 3 hours a day, and I'm doing a dance if Ethan sleeps for an hour. Oh well, at least he sleeps good at night I suppose. So to all of you moms who have children who nap for hours during the day, I applaud you and hate you all at the same time. :)

The nap struggle

Aren't you glad you have the blog to vent your frustrations...I think I'll vent...Clay naps just fine, unless there is a Marine tearing down a shed in his backyard right next to Clay's room. I almost went outside to yell as he hammered away for an hour (which Clay slept through suprisingly), but after an hour he woke up screaming because of the unthoughtful Marine hammering away. Irritating.
ReplyDeleteOh I feel for you. It kills me how they can sleep with their little heads all wacky in the car. I would wake up with the worst neckache!
ReplyDeleteI think Jack and Ethan are conspiring against us....or maybe they just don't need as much sleep as most. Let's just say it's because they are brilliant.
