Nap...or no nap?
So Aiden's been in his big boy bed for a week. He actually has been doing very well, which is why I hate to complain. BUT. Right now it is 4 PM and usually he would be napping peacefully for about another hour. He hasn't napped at all today, and did it on Sunday too. If he's tired enough, I can rock him to sleep, and he'll stay asleep when I put him down. But if those eyes look at me when I'm leaving, I may as well give up my break time. Today, I tried for over an hour to get him to just stay in his bed and I finally just let him come out to watch a video. I tried calling it "quiet time" instead of naptime, but it didn't faze him. And he's not cranky or fussy or whatever, so I'm not complaining about him. I'm complaining because I had to give up MY rest time!!! Yeah, I'm selfish. But I've gotten used to these afternoons-to-myself and even if he's ready to give up his nap, I'm not ready to give up my me time! He's even getting up earlier than usual, which I would think would make him need a nap even more. But maybe we'll have bedtime earlier, which would at least give us some alone time in the evening. Again, I hate to complain, because Aiden is a great kiddo. But I WANT MY AFTERNOONS AGAIN!!!
